Default Rutsy rotors

I have had great results using Calyx Manifold Dressing on the rusty portions of the rotors. Just rub a small amount on with a moderately stiff toothbrush and wipe off with a rag (paper towell works too). $14.00 delivered from NAISSO for a small jar that has latest for quite a few years and rotors.

Iron + Water = rust

Paint the hub before you install them (if they are not already zinc plated or something) and use the brake pads to clean the rust off of the fire path, nothing else you can do.
