Worth straightening out or replacing?

A bent (warped) rotor which is thinner than Magura calipers want as is a different brand.

It does rub on off significantly which is a REAL PITA.

Not just a small bend as is noticeable in feel and noise.

Just putting this out there to those who have been successful in straightening a rotor.

Is it ok to leave rotor fitted to wheel in order to bend back in place and with what specifically?

Yeah just leave it on the bike, work our which part needs bent, spin the wheel so your bending it far away from the caliper, push/pull as required until happy. If it sticks grand, if it warps again then you know its new rotor time

I bend mine back in to shape with an adhustable spanner, seems to work really well

I use the PArk Tool version, but essentially it's just something that can be a bit thicker than the rotor itself.
