Be aware though that even when they are new they don't have as much material on them as you might expect! I got quite a supprise when i opened up my first set!

Its worth going over the steel plates with fine glass paper if you didn't already do that.

are the st4 plates better (grippier) or just lighter? do you get alloy "steels" as well, or have i read the interweb wrong (i think i saw that last bit on sigma's website)

i gave the steels a bit of a rub with 120(i think) paper, but that looked a bit extreme so i just went at them with a scotchbrite pad and some elbow grease. i also cleaned up the friction plates with brake cleaner and a cloth. it seems to have done the trick .................for now

thanks
