How to bed in new brake pads

bennett_346

I'm not taking either side. I genuinely have no idea whether you're supposed to bed them in a certain way or not, i never have.

If it is similar to a car then I would bed them in. I believe it is to do with the initial chemical mix of the pads. The first few heat cycles make a big difference on a performance car pad, but only if you using them to there max. If your just running them at 60/70% of the ability then you won't notice.

As said not sure if this is the same for bikes.

I don't think i was evasive.If calling you a Troll (which anyone who goes in Crudcatcher knows to be the case) is abusive then you really can't take what you give out in just about every thread you deem worthy of your presence.

The same can be said of you.
I've never said it's more than my opinion of GIMP.
Now let me disagree with you and kindly pi** the f*ck off.

That is just this week.
Sadly this seems to be your usual response when some dares not to agree with you.
Why were you banned again? Being abusive perhaps?

Kevlar pads are crap in UK weather, maybe just send em back and get sintered, superstars site said they were out of stock when i ordered mine, still turned up 2 days later tho.

As for bedding in I go out in the street, full pelt, full squeeze, rinse and repeat till you go over the bars (or maybe just 5 times)

^^ The GIMP comment was because he would not allow me my opinion of a piece of software.
I've offered you twice now, to explain your understanding of brake pad bedding in. Instead, you keep avoiding the issue and try to start an argument.
It's actually kind of cute

Woah there sailor...

He is though. Like a feisty little kitten with a piece of string. It knows it HAS to kill the string, but it doesn't know why, or how.
But while it's trying, everyone's looking on and having a little giggle.

Yeah I emailed them and they said to expect them at the end of June, but I can't wait that long. As I said though, I think the stock pads were organic and they lasted long enough so I can only hope the kevlar pads last longer! Its the first time I've ever had to change pads on a bike, but I've only really started using the last 8 months - a year.

He can be the third test chimp in our brake temperature roadtest sciency thingy. (he can have the bike with cable operated Zoom brakes)

don't be drawn into the keyboard warriors arguments , anyone that knows him will tell you he is a prick in real life to, that's why he spends all his time on here trying to be the hard man .

The kevlar pads are excellent. I am equally sure that in extremely nasty conditions sintered will last longer.

I'm doing neither.You however are just continuing your usual trolling behaviour by trying to get a bite I could try to explain my understanding of the bedding in procedure but:
1.You wouldn't agree,as it goes against your limited understanding.
2.You wouldn't agree,as it goes against your limited understanding
3.You wouldn't agree,as it goes...you get the picture.
I could also give you a manufacturers explanation of the bedding in procedure but:
see steps 1 to 3 above.
You are in your own little way though quite entertaining

Reported, since you continue to refuse to give your understanding of bedding in brakes, and are just trying to start an argument.
You're not actually contributing anything to the topic at hand, even after several requests to do so.

You do realise you can be banned for misusing the....

Don't get drawn in, don't get drawn in...

And as yet I have seen nothing from you to support you ideas other than dissing other posters.

Put up or shut up.

Like what was the results of your test? Or have you forgotten?
