Why would a disc rotor suddenly 'bend' in on itself. Its a lightweight 3 bolt hope jobby. In a titanium hardtail. Could it be a combination of hard braking, frame flex and the lightweight 3 bolt design?
Any ideas please?
Viciously eh?
I hope you're ok!
I had a rear 3 bolt (HH XC3) rotor badly warp in a modest descent one day. It didnt inspire a lot of confidence in the front.
Any photos?
The last rotor I bent was from running into someone, have you damaged it?
Also rotors wear, measure its thickness - I've had this with Ashima ones, worn to half thickness 😯
Ah , its done a year of sintered pads so i may take the calpiers to it. I have no problems regards braking confidence, I don't mind it happening once, as long as I know why so i can prevent it.
is it fitted the right way round?

Until we see pics, safest assumption is it was mounted wrong way.
Which way should it be mounted, i haven't got out the dark ages with my £10 mobile phone not doin pictures!!!
There isn't a "right way" with hope 3 bolt rotors. They are symmetrical (but ok there may still be an arrow). But you can probably relax on that point. Photos would be good though.
