Is my hub bent or the brake rotor?

[QUOTE="O3RM125, post: 1259084, member: 82886"] I have been going through my rm125 that I got last month, mostly just cleaning things up and replacing a few parts here and there, last week I noticed that the front disc rotor is slightly tweaked. I went ahead and ordered new pads and found a rotor on ebay for $50. I put the pads and the new/used rotor on today and it seems bent too. If I place the rotor I got on ebay on a flat surface it appears to be straight and true, but once on the bike it appears to be bent slightly like the original, enough that the caliper has to move back and forth when the wheel is spun. The "nubs" on the front hub where the rotor bolts on are quite short and I cant really imagine how they could have been bent. Should I drop the coin for a brand new replacement rotor, or save my pennies for a few, get a new hub and try that route? Any suggestions appreciated. edit: I wanted to add that I did try loosening the bolts on the rotor enough to relive pressure from the disc and it still showed a bend in it when the front wheel was spun. The "spots" on the hub where the rotor bolts on are to "staggered" for me to check the hub with a straight-edge. [/QUOTE]
