I ride devil pedals on my bike >:D

Flat... with metal spikes kicking out just to bugger up my legs. But they hold skate shoes on plenty hard enough for DH riding. Glad you got sorted man.

Yep, bicycle disk's REALLY don't like heat :-\

After a heavy breaking session, give them 5 mins to cool of mate, and you'll be fine :)

Is it a hydraulic or cable operated disk ???

If it's cable, then it'll just need adjusting, which is a 2 minute job :)
