Disc lock left on :(

[kingsknight]

Warpped my front disk today by riding off with my disk lock on! Now when i spin the front wheel it spins freely till it hits one point in the disk then stops. It needs some effort to move wheel by hand but once its past the tuff bit it spins freely.

Took off the caliper and it looks fine! now there is a slight knocking sound coming from the caliper when you push it forward!

Ordered a new disc and it should be here saturday! I got no choice to ride it to work for the next two days but its only a 8 mile round trip!Will be taking it very easy thats for sure and using my back brake mainly! Iv got some new brake pads ill put in once i replaced the disc!

Just praying its just the disc which is fucked and not the caliper and disc!!!!

Ill find out saturday!

Disc will be bent,
always happens when people leave em on.
get a ruler and spin the bike with the ruler touching the edge of the disc see if it stays straight...

Id be careful riding that as if its warped enough to move out enough to touch the pads lol.
Or if you need id desperatly, it will feel like its fading, as it will be strong as fook where its warped then go to normal braking around the disc, dangerious shit

Im push biking it to work! Dont want to risk it! Iv been reading some posts on here and it looks like quite a few people have done it!

If it was a biker bike looks like i could of smashed the caliper and disc!!!

Bad luck, matey

It was thanks to reading threads on here that the first thing I did when I bought my disc lock was attach a fluro bungie to act as a reminder. They're cheap as chips and very worthwhile - not that you're likely to ever do it again, but just in case

Yup I did that on the very first day I bought my Speed Triple.

Was lucky though as the disc didnt bend.

[Mudskipper]

I too did this, only once though! Warped my disc but caliper was fine.

I think you're right not to chance it till it's sorted. Not worth it.

lol, I just did this yesterday, had to call out the AA man since my lock was small enough to get wedged in between the disk and the inside of the front fork, only damage i sustained by the looks of it was a bent bit on the inside of the disk which was bent back, I dont think my disk has been bent but i will do the ruler test just to be sure.

its a bi@ch when its your own stupidity that costs you money

iv ordered a new disc should be here in less then 24 hours i hope!

Looks like a real simple job changing the disc on an XR! wheel off > Disc off > new disc on > wheel on > start riding!

5 8mm bolts holding on the disk! shouldnt take much more then 30mins to do!

ill let you all know how it goes. The thing is tho, i cant see an damage to the disc which is strange! but then again only needs to bend the disc 1mm to make the knocking sound im guessing

id laugh if the disc bolts rounded or or were a bitch to get out like on most bikes then you wouldnt be saying 30 min job

I take it you managed to save the bike from going over and causing more damage!!!

I have a disc lock with alarm, it's so sensitive that if I put the key in the ignition it beeps.

Also, I attach the lock BEHIND the caliper, so if I did try and ride off, it would only have about an inch of rotation on the disc before contact, thus minimising the momentum the bike would build up had it be fixed on the opposite side (effectively giving an entire rotation of the wheel (likely to be over a metre of travel distance).

Replaced the disc which was a 10min job and everything is now fine!

Nope I didnt drop the bike as the lock snapped in half!!! was a cheap alarm lock!
