Disc brake rotors

My rear disc rotors has been bent (Can't prove anything, but it was the bloody window fitter)...
Rotor is 160mm Shimano/icetech. Don't know the exact model and don't really know the differences between the models out there. Anyone care to advise me on a good centrelock replacement. I live and ride in Lancashire, so descents are fast and furious, but not Alpine-esque.

I've not tried straightening it - I did read that may be an option. I don't know how much tool would cost to straighten, but may not be worthwhile financially. The closest match I can see is £30. https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-sm-rt70-ice-tech-centrelock-disc-rotor-102848.html?source=PHG0

The pros are all using XTR mountain bike ones as they're a bit lighter than Dura Ace.0

In a pinch an adjustable spanner can be used to true a disc brake rotor1

was going to say the same; if you have a large adjustable wrench then you already have a disc rotor straightening tool0

The LifeLine tool oxoman posted above is more than adequate for any rotor truing job. You can also straighten it by hand. Sorted a rotor by that method just last night.0

Thanks, I've ordered one of the Lifeline tools so will give it a go.0
