i just purchased a set of Shimano LX dual control shifters with hyrdraulic disc brakes. the kit did not come with rotors, so i planned to use the new kit with my existing rotors (Deore, tektro IO). i was at a bike shop yesterday and we were talking about this and he called shimano directly and they said i needed heat treated rotors.
what does that mean? are my current rotors heat treated? what difference does it make to braking performance?

wow man that sounds a little crazy, like rocket science. i have standard 6in rotors and they rock and have never even in extreme conditions given out on me or had brake loss due to heat. i know your setup, id consider just doing one rear hyd. brake for weight/racing purposes, maybe even not use front brakes at all or just use v brakes for front.

the discs are the rotors which you dont ought to substitute in many circumstances. You replace the pads that touch the rotor extra in many circumstances. and you have the rotors "became"( milled delicate) in the event that they get grooves. whilst the rotors get became adequate circumstances or in the event that they get warped, you alter them

I dunno. But I think you can buy standard 6" shimano rotors for around 20 bucks or so.
