Must be a warped rotor right?

Damn thing has a vibration when I hit the brakes, it is normally so in a car when you have this sensation. Does not vibrate any other time than that. Anything else it could be?

mine is doing the same thing after someone tried to steal my bike and my disk lock got into my front fender hard enough to break it. Mine is only noticeable at highway speeds or greater. sucks, but i guess now i'll have a reason to save up for some Brembos or galfers.

sounds like they are warped

I just got warranty on my front rotors 16,000 km and it was just a slight vibration at low speed run out was way out of spec .

if you remove them and place on a flat surface you can tell if they are warped

Fish is wright'' you don't hear much about these xc's but they work. I got one of the early sets and the price was reasonable. Check them out EBC is making some good brakes

Another possibility could be the rim (or even just the waits) but the roter is by far the best bet.
