[#539215]

Got down to the metal on a wet ride and as a result I have marked my brake rotor.

Will it make any difference in performance?

Catastrophically or just a little bit?

A little bit I can live with.

I would imagine it'll just eat pads a bit quicker.

If you can feel the marks with your fingers, like they have rough burred edges, then just wrap some very fine wet'n'dry around a steel rule and gently sand smooth. If the marks don't have burrs then ignore them, 'cos sintered pads will smooth them over time anyway. Don't worry too much about it.
