No question is a dumb question.
Welcome to the site!!
If I remember correctly I was able to leave the rotor on when getting new shoes for the Kat.
Make sure you check your rims out before you take them in. The tire guy at Iron Pony scratched my rims. -
leave the rotors on they need to be on when they balance the tireComment

+1. Leave them on for sure. You will prolly have to remo a caliper or two to get the wheel out though. ***If you do, remember to pump the brakes after you put the wheel back in before riding. If you don't, you won't have any***Mike

+2. No need to remove the rotors, and they should be in place for balancing when it's done.Originally posted by lucky6man
Before you do all this, call the shop and see if they quote you different prices for the wheel on the bike and the wheel already off the bike for tire mounting -- most will, but some won't, and if they don't, no sense in you laboring to get it off when they'll charge you to do it anyway.
