Default When to replace discs?

How do you know when your discs need replacing?

Just my front ones have a small lip on them, but not sure if the lip it too big or not?


Thanks

There's a minimum thickness.
You need a micrometer, or a decent vernier gauge to find the thickness at various points around the disc. If using a vernier, you need to devise a method to avoid the lip, I clamp two 50p pieces or £1 coins with the disc, then measure thickness of them and subtract from overall to give disc thickness.

Dunno min thickness, sorry, give Alyn at AS Performance, or Ian at Godspeed a ring on monday, they WILL know, and both can supply discs, pads etc.
