Did you came down from the Himalayas mountain in neutral, just using brakes?

Few years ago, I forgot to take off the disc lock, and the brakes used to make funny noise afterwards... (yes, I have learned the hard way where to put the disc lock on disc: always right behind the calipers if I will go strait ahead, or just in front of the fork if I have to go backwards to get out of parking place...)
over time they will warp from heat from normal use, hard use just makes em warp sooner.

glad you got it fixed!!!

LMAO!!!!

Ive had my front wheel swerve like crazy when braking superhard from highspeed. Ive also locked the front up and skidded it for a bit but havnt experienced a wobble or pulse. I think ill buy new rotors anyway.
