I had to make an "emergency" stop today as a light decided to turn yellow on me and stopping seemed like the best decision. I braked hard, more and more weight going to the front, then something happened, it sounded like the brake pads skipping , not the tire locking. Wasnt a great sound and i eased off and rolled through the intersection as there was no traffic.

Would something like this happen if the pads / rotors were "glazed"?

I am debating whether to bring to a local shop to inspect the brakes. Im just a bit worried how much they will want tp charge though. I know i should do it myself but not sure if i have the skills to tackle the brakes or not.

2012 bike has 4500 miles. I bought it last year with 2500 miles on it.

Thanks!!
