The problem you are having with one spot binding on new rotors is due to lax
run-out specs by the manufacturer of your new rotor.
Run-out is the amount of variation from flat that the rotor is allowed to have.
Many of the less expensive (and some of the more expensive) rotors are have too
large a run-out for those of us with competative tastes.
SOLUTIONS:
1) Buy a rotor with tighter specs
2) Take your new rotor to someone with a GOOD lathe and have them turn it to
smooth out the bad spots. Turn it only slightly as you don't wnat to take
a bunch of metal off this otherwise good rotor.
!!! DO NOT USE YOUR MAILER'S AUTO-REPLY TO SEND TO ME, IT WILL NOT WORK !!!
