Hello everyone.

Kinda new here, been reading the newsgroup for about a week or two.

Just bought a new Specialized crossroads bike with disk brakes. I was
riding down a hill earlier tonight, It was pretty steep grade so I
had the brakes on all the way down, about a full minute give or take.

I was wondering if the disk brakes got warm after having them on for
so long so after I got down to the bottom of the hill I did a stupid
thing. I stopped, got off the bike, and touched the disk. I almost
burned the skin off my fingers, they were like 400 degrees.

Who's got that photo of the glow in the dark disc rotors that was posted
ages back?
Was that one of your's, Slacker????
It was a night-time photo of a blurry bike and you could see the rotors
glowing orange!

Might have been John G (Clydesdale).
