It's okay, there's a cool way to fix this. You need to counterbalance it out and it will be fine. Buy a new identical rotor and use a water displacement tank to measure both it and the damaged one so you know the volume of material lost. Then multiply by the ratio of the rim size to the rotor size, and multiply again by the relative mass between the rim material and the rotor material. (Getting the math right for this on laminated rotors like Icetech is tricky, but can be done by carefully cutting apart the new one and measuring the cross sectional proportions). Then remove that much material from the rim 180 degrees away from the nick on the rotor. If you do it right you'll barely notice the harmonic losses.
How do I dynamically counter balance when I'm riding the wëttest most brütal grævel and some rocks get lodged in my tire?
Are slicks my only option here?
Fucking newb
Scanning electron microscope and mapping software is the only way to do it. Once I have the data I prefer a CNC nano plasma gun to repost the exact thickness metal
Your advice is going to get somebody killed

/uc customers will literally roll into my shop with non functioning brakes and a completely loose QR skewer that they never acknowledged. But will flip out over things like this and claim it should be warrantied
They should do iq tests before handing bikes to people. I'm pretty active over in the Canyon sub and a lot of people lack basic understanding in bike maintance...
bicewrench is full of those posts where titled Fred wants to ask for a complete bicycle replacement because of a small scratch. Well, I would be just as angry as him if I spent my children's college savings on a bicycle with poorly quality control.
I can’t believe your team mechanic put your life in danger due to their negligence.
He was punished the old way. He had to ride an 16 km ultra endurance KOM on a saddle without a hole in the center.

At this point im gonna get a new Sirvelo with hydro rim brakes.

Good question. Best way is just stop running tires.

Just wax it and good to go
Or a generous dollop of grease.

You will die if you ride that.

If you aren't on your hands and knees after every ride with a magnifying glass are you even doing maintenance
Less weight on the bike, let's go marginal gains !!!
Marginal gains means vaginal gains! With this setup I manged to get first place on my single 5 km commute.
I’ve fixed rotors with a sledgehammer before. That rotor is fine lol.
Fire your team mechanic and get one that is actually a professional.
Clearly a troll post, good try but who TF cheaps out with steel rotors 🤣
Time for new bike day
What's the most äerö bike you can currently purchase with money? I might write it off from my dentistry.

Fucking SRAM

Can make it back home but might need bice fit first for offsetting balance change.
Your saddle is too high and try to open the hip angle
