can you just flip your brakes over if they are wearing on one side.

I know the scoot was in a bad crash befor I bought it I replaced the front end and the back was just fine. Im thinking maybe the back rim has a slight bend in it to make the brakes like that. but not sure.
or when he crashed it he hit the brakes to hard and did some damage to theam.

 You can flop them but ultimately need to fix the cause. Will get you quite a few more miles though.
