[ST] Brake update

["jay levine" <levine98@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Update on the brake situation--according to Roys Repair here in the Twin 
Cities, I have warped rotors!  How/why they got warped is a mystery to me.

The warping pushes the brake pads completely back against the caliper each 
time the wheel spins, hence the need to pump the brake lever several times 
to fully engage the pads.  This makes it seem as if I've lost hydraulic 
pressure, when in fact it simply requires several pumps to re-expand the 
piston back to its proper relationship to the rotor....makes sense I guess, 
nothing several hundred dollars can't fix......

Thanks to those of you who offered up advice....
