It took a while to resolve this situation (3 years) but, hopefully, my one big frustration with an otherwise great bike is over.

Now I have to plan my summer trip. California, Canada, C...?
Yes, if the wheel has been poorly machined or finished where the discs are mounted, the discs will simply warp again.

After each disc change, were the brakes satisfactory and for how long?
