There are some good looking wavy discs on e-bay UK they're cheap and probably Chinese, but I don't know what the quality is like, or how long it'll be before they warp

I bought some second hand OEM discs, they were barely worn and have proved to be perfect, it was a risk but for £25 I couldn't resist them.

They look similar to the ones I've seen, they certainly look good, any problems with warping?

They look good as well Dragon would look good on the MK1 and I understand what you mean about buying new. The only reason I bought used was 'cos they were sooo cheap and the ones posted up on links weren't around at that time

A few notes on brake drag...

1. Remember that the only thing that retracts the pistons back into the caliper are hte tiny ridges on the seals. This means that any dirt/crud/whatever is potentially enough to hinder that movement. When you replace brake pads, extend the pistons out enough so that you can thoroughly clean them (being careful not to pop 'em out).

2. Many bikes have brake drag when cold no matter what you do. If you know that the entire system is in optimal operating condition yet you still have drag, try going for a 10-15 minute ride that ends in your garage, then check 'em as soon as you stop. You might be surprised to find that they spin freely.

3. There is 0% chance that the rotors are too thin, so no shaving is needed, nor would it help.

You will have to excuse the state of the bike as she is very rough and not much plastic left. I bought the bike some time after it had been crashed and it had been sitting out side for a couple of years, runs OK now.
