Default Brake Problems - STILL!!!

Had the discs skimmed on my Motor which got rid of the brake vibration under light braking....did the Croft Trck Day and all was fine.....two weeks later and its starting again

Took the hubs to an engineer and he suggested the bearing mounting surface was out by 5thou from specification and this may mean the hub/wheel/disc is moving within the bering...causing the disc to touch the pads...heat up and warp!!

Is this feasible??

I recently replaced the front wheel bearings on both sides and I didn't press them into place...the hub just slid into the bearing and I torqued the nut.

Should the bearings be press fitted?

Cheers

What discs are they?

If it was ok when you had the discs done and you've since done a track day and they're fooked again i'd say it was deffo a disk problem.
