Hello guys, it’s my first time posting here, usually I’m just enjoying videos and learning from discussions, but today it’s different. My brand new bike just came in and my rotors are bent. Rear one isn’t that bad, but I’m concerned about the front one. I read lot of comments on YT about brand new rotors being bend, but isn’t this too much? To me it looks like it’s too much, to just “ride it out”, but I’m new to this so I came here for advice 🙂 Should I try to straighten them or maybe contact seller, if replacing is what is needed?
Thanks for all your answers, oh and also I’m not a native speaker so I’m sorry for some possible mistakes 😁

Rotors bend all the time they’re quite easy to bend back. They don’t like being bent, they like to spring back to their original shape but that being said they’re new and you should expect straight rotors out of the box. I’d would have the rotors replaced personally but it’s up to you. Simple job to straighten again.
Best to learn how to straighten them, it happens all the time.
