Well of course the author's confirmation bias has "never seen one" when it's all in good condition and installed correctly. Well no shit sherlock, rotors in "good condition" by definition are not warped.  |
That's the same thing. In both cases it's not the rotor deflecting, it's the hat, which causes the rotor to be angled against the pads wearing once side down more than the other turning it into a "cone". There's even a diagram showing "tapered pad wear". I'm sure you know better than the engineers at a no-name company like Stoptech... Perhaps you should reach out to inform them that their white paper is incorrect.
