| I'm afraid my the people that replace the tires will bend my rotor if I dont take it off before handing it to them. |

| I remove the brake rotors on my Goldwing wheels whenever I have a shop change a tire on the rim. All it takes is for someone to knock the wheel over and let the rotor hit the concrete floor to warp it. I don't think the risk is as high with the Silverwing wheels because of their smaller size and weight but the potential does exist. |

| So far I've had good luck while not removing the rotors, both front and rear wheels. I guess it could be a problem though, if the mechanics aren't careful. |
