Yes, I worked in the industry and       have *hands on* experience with warped rotors. I have seen them, I have       measured them, I have, where possible, even cleaned them up to       serviceable condition. Your *experience* with brakes is limited to hobby       repairs at home.       >       > But you can turn me around on a dime.       > I'm easy to convince with facts.              Um, no you're not.

The rotors I have seen and measured did not warp because I gave       them a *dark look*.       >       > Provide me even a _single_ reliable reference that says what you say, which       > is that people "think" rotors don't warp and yet they do.       > *Find just one*              A saw with my own eyes and measured with my own hands numerous warped       rotors.       >       > Without even a _single_ reliable reference backing up your claim, it's you       > who is being disingenuous.

I have seen plenty of rotors that were warped with no       signs of cracking. I have also seen the converse, cracked rotors with no       signs of warpage. It's a *different effect*.              --       Xeno                     Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.        (with apologies to Ralph Waldo Emerson)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
