Milk the brakes. Will not die.
Was teaching milking to 30+ kids & adult riders, touring coast-to-coast across the lakes & north pennines, last week. Got the feeling people didn't really believe it was necessary (except maybe to relieve stress on hands applying levers) until after one particularly long and fast descent, some kids burnt their fingers touching their rotors.
One clincher tyre did pop a hole near the rim with cantis, wire showing, think it was a bit mashed at install. Luckily I was carrying a 700 folding.
