Also may i ask to disassemble one rotor for better look, where iron & alu hub meats up?
The pistons got a little sticky after one year. I spoke with Essex about it and they said it was totally normal. I use a spreader to push the pistons back in and it works just fine. No leaking is apparent.
I replaced the rotor rings a few days ago. The aluminum/iron interface is perfect.
