Bam, Yeah, smaller rotors more likely to warp. I think I misunderstood what you meant.
Was it during his Transcontinental that @skinny lose power?
Would be interesting to see how really effective the finned pads are on 140 mm rotors.
Is that wasn't clear in my original comment? smaller rotor heated up more = dissipate heat less efficiently?
Or do you mean that the smaller rotors should have more chance at warping due to heating up quicker than larger rotor?
I usually worries about smaller rotors heating up the pads/calipers to the point of losing power on a road bike, rather than the concern of warping the rotor as @skinny testified on his long alpine gravel descent.
