This happens because I was dumb and didn’t check direction on the rotors. I posted this to be used as a warning because it caused my front wheel to lock and caused a good amount of damage to my brake caliper. Plus I haven’t seen one do this before so I thought others may enjoy

Was the rotor bent, and seized in the caliper?
Not sure what you mean by ‘check rotation’

I appreciate this post a lot haha, not only did you fuck up, but you also understand exactly what went wrong! I haven’t thought much about rotors being directions, and by my field of work I definitely should have!

Well you answered my question on what would happen if I put these on backwards

Thanks for the hint since I do my own work. Also nice of you to patiently help people understand the issue.
