Wordy1979 Is this the standard flat Hope metal rotor or a floating rotor?

I've got a spare set of rotors for a metro city 1.3 you can have if you want?

Have you tried a chapati? Or possibly one of those big Millies Cookies?

10" peperoni I've heard are good for trail centres.

Take your pick. Replacement hope ones are quite expensive I find. But i think any 180/183 rotor will work for you.

You can bend them back if it's not too bad.

Honda Fireblade, 2000 model. 6-bolt fixing, admittedly not the same size of bolts as your Five and not the same BCD but it's the right number at least. 330mm for extra stopping POWAH and mounted on an alloy carrier for weight reduction so it only weighs about a kilo. Perfect for your needs.

Or alternatively, just fit another one the same.

Bend it back or buy another. If you can afford a five you can afford a new disc. 😉
