Hi Bill,
This sounds like the symptoms I had for a couple years before my rotor
lost all braking capability. In retrospect, I think that one of the
slots for the brake wedge may have become deformed and did not allow
complete release of the wedge. (This is strictly a guess.) Eventually the
rotor began freewheeling in the wind, and I had to send it off for repair.
I was told that the brake wedge had broken off and lots more damage
happened during the freewheeling. (My rotor carried a 402CD and 204CD).
I hope this is not the road you are going down, but it might be a
good idea to pick up a spare rotor in case.
