Default When should you replace your iron brake discs? Article inside.

Gents,
I wrote a short article the other week on iron brake disc replacement. Our customers are constantly asking us this question. Please check it out on our blog. It has some nice pics of discs in various states of wear. Thanks.

When is it Time to Replace My Iron Brake Discs?

Thanks. I am very used to monitoring the discs. With Brembo, which I had been running and just added AP J hooks, you do get a guide re thickness. e.g....2mm wear = dispose, which also equates to the grooves being gone.

Can you share what sort of reduction in thickness of AP J hook disc typically equates to the groove being gone...is it also 2mm?
