I couldn't resist another pair of skis

The amazing thing was that the braking itself
worked fine until the hogging in started. It cost an extra $10/wheel to
replace the rotors.
You got a good deal on the rotors.
They were from a wrecking yard and it was before 1990. Still...
I've seen rotors ground to the
ribs. In high school I operated a lathe and ground some of my buddies
rotors. That was just before I became a famous New York City fashion
model.
"Turned", not ground. Just sayin'.
I cut threads once on a small Sears (Atlas, I think) lathe. Once. The
experience was unpleasant, although successful. Brass is a real joy to
cut, though.
Warped rotors (within limits, of course) are NOT a safety issue. They
work just fine, albeit not all that smoothly. Big deal.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting
them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for
no good reason. - Jack Handy
