"When the rotor turns and the bike is going forward, you're catching fresh air and putting it on top of the brake-pad surface. The rotor continues to turn, of course, and it rotates through the pads. As the pad heats up and releases dust, the heat and dust are actually being pushed forward and out of the rotor along the path of the wave."

How come Brembo doesn't make a wave rotor? How come racers don't use them?
