Attack the rotors with abrasives then isopropyl, they’ll be fine.
Don’t waste your time with the pads though, especially not with fire. Vapourised contaminants are not very therapeutic to your lungs. Just buy a new set from Uberbike or wherever, they’re cheap.

Yeah, I did isopropyl on the rotors and isopropyl & sandpaper on the pads but I reckon the pads are fuckered. Any en flambé will be done outside so no risk of inhaling anything dodgy, worth a try, and if it doesn’t work then hey at least I got to set something on fire. It’ll take up some time between now and new pads getting delivered.

So far my only review of the tyres is that they look sick. Have only been for a short spin round the local park, and what that mostly established was that my attempts to decontaminate the brakes were a failure, so I was mostly focussed on not dying as I came down the hill. Going to try setting the pads and rotors on fire to see if that improves matters, and if not then I’ll have to get new ones.
