Hi all,

I just scored a set of Campy Bora One 35s for the price of Fulcrum Racing Quattros which has been amazing, I wanted to pick your brains on what the most effective/best way to clean the braking surface would be on these?
I'm thinking maybe lukewarm water and some soap, and to stay away from solvents, but any advice & recommendations will be much appreciated.

Also in your experience - esp for those with Bora One/Ultras (I believe they use the same brake pads & surface) do you find you get much particle/dirt stuck in your brakepads?

Thanks,
EVren

    I would agree - soap and water. Just be careful what soap you use - nothing like Fairy Liquid, which is actually an abrasive.
