The page says the rivets need to be serviced after 3000miles, which means they are putting support out for that. Which is... kinda interesting.
I dont know want the curiosity to kill the cat but I do wanna see the difference between a 11.8 13 and 14inch rotor are.
That's what I would do. Wouldn't think twice about it. Never heard about rivet servicing. Replacing rivets every 3k miles seems excessive. Unless by "servicing" they simply mean check them for cracks etc.
