More on brakes:
Many brakes don't actually grab the rotor, but rather engage another part of the hub. Most will not warp with the rotors. The problem is that you park after a session, set the brake, walk away... Come back in an hour for the next session, and you can't move the brake release, because the components have all cooled and shrunk. Very embarassing.
