I’m a big boy with 100kg and was descending on a road that I don’t know today so was braking pretty hard (very steep road). Towards the end I think I smelt overheated brakes.
When I got home I noticed that my rear disk got coloured from heat.
Is this an issue?

My rotors did this too on a recent bikepacking trip. The consensus in this thread is it’s ok https://www.reddit.com/r/bikewrench/comments/zjrqa3/disc_brake_rotors_brown/

It’ll be fine.
