@JY Kelly did you ever find out why your rotors were warping?

And as an aside, I don’t use my front brake at stop. Because as I slow down below 5 mph, I transition to rear only, and when stopped I use the rear to hold if on a grade. I transition to avoid dropping the heavy touring bike if the front wheel is turned, and front brake is engaged.
