i got my bike 1-2 months ago and have been riding down this hill (most days) that drops about 500 feet over 1.25 miles. its a paved road. my question is, the rear rotors are already turning blackish/colored and it just so happens that i read an article on Shimanos site yesterday that said if your rotors turn colors like that, theres nothing you can do and you should replace them since they wont perform like they could. i agree, they dont perform as good as they did, and they even make like a clicking/knocking noise and they pulsate when they get real hot.
should i be looking into some other kind of breaks for this type of hill or did i screw them up cause im a newb. cause i also read on Shimanos site that you can burn them up, before you wear them in, when theyre new. i basically charge the hill i go down, i dont hold back much. theyre Juicy 3s. 6" on the rear, 7" on the front. the front rotors look fine
thanks
