Brake Pads
 

I need some new brake pads before the track day on 25th March, but how long does it take to bed the new ones in? Will I be ok if I've only ridden about 50 or so miles with the new ones on the road before I unleash them on the track??

Ta,

Ade.

Should be OK I'd guess, depends on where you're riding, you could do 50 motorway miles and never use the brakes:smug:

You'll find out soon enough if you miss that first braking point :lol:

Don't see why not. In racing, you put in a new set of pads, take it steady for a couple of laps and then go hell for leathers.

Good, I guess I'll find out really won't I. It's them new tyres I'll have on at the same time I gotta watch out for...:o

try to bed them in gradually before you get to the track usung them progressively harder.
50 miles doesnt mean much, depends how many times you break! make a point of CAREFULLY breaking as much as you can even if on motorways/dual carriageways.

OK, thanks for the advice. Steady as she goes....

You will be fine..........you have any questions or need any help on the day..you come find us..we will all be in the same pit garage .. in fact i hope you can join us..........
