Had a bad crash a couple months back and someone ran over my front wheel. Figured I just had a bent rotor. Rotor was still dragging on a particular part of the rotor.
I now see that the mounting point for the rotor is bent inwards, causing the rotor to flex in as I tighten.
It spins freely when I take that rotor screw out.
Is there anyway I can heat this up and bend it back? Or should I just get a new hub? Or send it to Dubya?
Also do you think I can temporarily ride with 3 loctite rotor screws? I’m just your average C class rider.

I think that will be the move for me instead of paying $250 for a trick hub
Thanks for the advice Paw Paw, though I’m not gonna lie, I probably will do a couple rides on it before I move to another state next month
I will look to replace it within the next month
Ordered a new front hub, it’ll be here Tuesday and I’ll ride next weekend. Not worth getting hurt in a dumb way. Especially before relocating and stuff.
Thanks for the tip though
