Docc,

This year going to be the SpineRainer's Rally? :huh:

Had three rainstorms between Asheville and Robbinsville. About the time I dried out here would come another one.

If anyone has a spare rear brake rotor I could use it. Mine warped a little on the way here.

Not just a sticking piston or pad failure? Is the rotor blue from overheating?

Bled brakes and changed fluid yesterday.  Caliper fine. Goes rhonk rhonk rhonk (warped  brake rotor noises). Piston stuck some last year and I think it's catching up with it. I can still ride, not an issue. Just annoying hearing Rhonk Rhonk Rhonk.

Didn't bring the support wagon, no deadblow on board.

Nope.

Most "warped rotors" I have encountered turned out to be more about the pads and the uneven distribution of resins onto the rotor surface.

Does this occur riding or just rolling the bike around? Only backward?

It is turning out that way. :wacko:

Yet, even if things were balmy and dry here, my middle name is Rainer (pronounced the way Reiner usual is).

My German mother had a Weimar-era adolescent crush on Rainer Maria Rilke, so that “boy named Sue” sort of name has been part of me since the beginning.  

So, it is SpineRainer every time I come here! :whistle:
