@pinguhk, @AlexFW, @Ricracing,
You're all talking about the rust I marked with (1). I do understand that unprotected iron surfaces do rust. What I'm talking about is the rust at the edge of the disc(2). I was a bit surprised to see that there is a small rusty edge, which the brakes apparently do not reach. I would expect that the brakes would cover the whole facing surface of the disc

I take out my pads every 6 months to chamfer it so it dose not rub on the sides.
