Neither of them have mentioned any bad juddering yet, i think the word 'warped' is used a bit too loosely to be honest.
A warped disc is gonna be blatantly felt through the hand when braking at speed. If it is genuinely warped then the disc will spread the pads more when moving so you would have to pump the lever one or two times before getting a horrible juddering response.
Hotspots though, which i believe i have, are very small variations of disc thickness, in my case probably caused by one side of my caliper seizing up and rubbing on the disc by being pushed from one side only and creating too much heat without backing off.
That can be mistaken for a 'warped' disc although technically it's not. I'm getting a hit/miss, grabbing feeling, but only at very low speed braking.
Still bloody costly whichever way i look at it :'(
My bike's getting new Venhill brake lines today/tomorrow, to definitely rule them out, then it's a case of hunting for a sensibly priced pair of discs, which after looking around don't really exist, they're either bloody expensive, or taking the piss expensive!! :eek
The thing about brake issues that i've noticed is that they very slowly get worse over time, so unless you are very meticulous then you tend not to realize anything's wrong for ages.
Once you have them up and running again and functioning correctly you'll be amazed at the difference, and actually be quite shocked at how good these brakes are! :b
You'll find yourself aiming at jaywalkers just to show off your braking power. Or maybe that's just me? :evil
