   Hi Xeno,   
   On _that_ topic alone, have you ever seen a typical rotor "gouge" spec?   
   I have.   
      
   That spec is often hard to find, but when found, it's shocking (to me).   
   For two reasons.   
      
   The first is that the spec allows _huge_ gouges (imho).   
   And the second is I've never seen a rotor _that_ gouged.   
      
   No big deal. I'd junk any rotor that doesn't meet spec w/o a second thought   
   since a rotor is a safety item that costs only about $15 to $35 per wheel.   
      
   While I'm not saying gouges can't happen, I've _never_ failed a rotor on   
   its gouge spec in my life (however I only replace my own rotors of course).   
      
   My question to you are the two above:   
   a. Have you seen how (seemingly) huge a gouge has to be to fail spec?   
   b. How often have _you_ seen a rotor gouged enough to fail that spec?
