If you're having the rotors turned, you might want to have the shop
press in new bearing races if they're looking kinda beat. If you're
going to be replacing the bearings, it would be a good idead to put in
new races anyway, or else your new bearings into the same condition as
the old races. Well, that's my assumption from my experience wrenching
on my mountain bike, anyway.
