Information

• To achieve maximum braking performance all newly fitted pads will need bedding in, this is an important process and should not be skipped. If pads are not bedded in the pad surface will become glazed, severely affecting the frictional properties of the pads, resulting in poor braking performance.
• To bed in the pads, ride at a moderate speed, rolling down a gentle slope is perfect. Gently apply the brake without attempting to fully stop and then release. Let the bike get up to speed again, this allows time for cooling and prevents too much heat buildup, repeat several times. You should be able to feel the brake power increasing with every stop, end the procedure when you achieve good braking performance.
• Sintered pads take longer to bed in than organic pads, a general rule is that the more durable the pad compound is, the longer it will take to bed in. The brake will reach its full potential after a few rides.
