No worries, Shazaam, just a bit of anorak discussion.

Oh dear, as someone who recently fitted Brembo cast iron disks with P34 calipers I think I need to do some more checks.

I inspected the rotors completely when I installed them so am sure there were no visible cracks etc and I'm not a fast rider anyway but, I can forsee a question.

How can you visually tell the difference between sintered and non-sintered pads? I suspect the pads I have will no longer have any markings on them.

Finally - any recommendations for pads to use with iron disks anyone?

Cheers - Frank

Am I missing something?..................I cant see any picture!

I have a feeling the pic / attachment link might not have been rebuilt after moving from one server to another

Ok

I`m interested coz I fitted cast iron Brembo disks to the Jota a few years ago and that`s quite a large lump to slow down!

I guess the key points are:

1) make sure sure you ARE NOT running sintered pads.

2) inspect the rotors as frequently as possible and to change at the service limit I'd imagine
