Yesterday a leaf got stuck in my caliper brakes and annoyed the heck out of me for a few miles. Does anyone know how many watts you have to dial up to incinerate a leaf when it gets wedged in like that? I know I could get disc brakes but would rather not.

Excuse the lack of food, photography or best bang for the buck cable provider content in my post. I will try to do better next time.
