 Perhaps this discussion has gone as far as it can go on one data point.
 There could have been other factors that caused the shimmy.  We don't
 really know that is a pressure/shimmy relationship. >>

I have had the Cleveland brakes since day one.  I have been through 2 sets of 
disks due to warpage from receptive heating (over 600hrs), yet never have 
lost braking.  The symptom is nose shimmy as one brake grabs the warped disk.  
Changing the disks provides instant relief.  My nose tube is at 50#.
