Easy way to clean rotors.

A simple automotive brake cleaning spray means several seconds of work and excellent results.

With a bit of 220 grit emery paper. Then you can huff the the remaining spray in a paper bag and take a selfie.

Why? Apply the spray and the grime just flows down onto a piece of a paper towel

See the cassette and the brake rotor. All what was needed was the brake cleaner fluid.

18 percent sounds intimidating. How do you ascend? A 450 pound bike would need 368 newtons, or 243 newton meters on a 26" wheel.


is not that bad we have done 22% now that was really hard. bbut we have the tandem geared Low so we can climb anything around.

The cleaner won't remove any of the black streaks. If you use it every time, you have to bed in the pads too. I just use alcohol unless it won't get rid of the noise.

Horses for courses It has worked for me well.
I'll post a close-up photo of my rotors morning my time.

Meanwhile: what amount of black streaks can you see in this photo?

Also clean the speed magnet or you will not be able to selfie to show that you went 15mph like a seven-year-old girl on a 20" coaster brake bike.

That brake cleaner is very bad for you.

I suggest alternating nostrils to be safe
