Where do you guys go to bed your pads-- either on a car or bike? None of the roads around me ever seem to be low enough traffic to do repeated high speed braking.

Car park, or the industrial estates around the edge of London. Nitrox posted:Me neither. Never had anything like that happen Have you been using sintered pads though? Organics just need a couple of quick dabs on the brake to get them bedded in, but sintered pads absolutely do need to be heat cycled (the degree of cycling varying depending on the compound of course). Redvenom posted:Yeah, sorry, bed in what say what? Sintered brake pads have metal particles baked into an organic base. The idea is that the metal gives them structural strength and much better heat transfer, letting you use a much softer organic compound without sacrificing brake life. The thing is, because brake disks aren't perfectly flat, you need to bed them in first (this applies to all brakes) by using them a few times so they wear away to perfectly match the disk surface. You couldn't do that if the metal in the sintered pads was already baked in at the factory (well you could, but it would take forever because you're effectively trying to grind metal with your disks), so once they're bedded in you need to get the pads up to the temperature the metal particles sinter - you then want to cool them off nice and quickly to stop the pads "glazing" (where too much of the metal melts at the same time, giving the friction surface a hard (and slippery) metal coating). The standard way of doing this is - once you're happy the brakes are properly bedded, and you can normally feel that really easily - to get up to about 60mph, brake as hard as you can down to 5-10mph, then accelerate back up to 60 and repeat a few times. With softer sintered pads (like you get with a lot of OEM fitments) you end up doing this the first time you brake properly in anger so you might not be aware of it, but the harder ones (anything marked for sport or race use) might need 5 or even 10 cycles to really properly settle - just like with the initial bed in you can definitely feel the difference through the lever, although it's much less dramatic (it's an increase in initial bite rather than in outright power like bedding is). Depending on the compound not doing this might just result in vastly increased pad wear, the brakes not reaching full power, or glazing and loving up your disks.

Yeah, but glazed pads would do the exact opposite of what happened to his brakes.

Yeah, I was talking about that as a general thing that can happen if you overheat them - if he's never got them up to temp at all (which as "light commuting" was mentioned seemed possible) then that kinf od fast wear also seems plausible.

I ride in the wet a lot and never particularly fast, so I just buy organics. It is a happy coincidence that organic pads are slightly cheaper than sintered ones.

Is it just me, or her helmet is three sizes larger than it needs to be? Also, it looks like she actually hit the concrete barrier, possibly because he grabbed her and twisted her body forward. "Saved"my rear end.

Remember kids, immediately after someone suffers a nasty motorcycle accident, you want to grab their helmet by the chinbar and violently shake it to-and-fro.

Sorry to post a reddit link because I truly hate their UI, but I don't know how to link to just the video. A bike and car accident that ends with surprising damage. I could see exactly what was going to happen, but didn't think the bike would win.

Looks like he juuuust missed the wheel and snagged the bodywork on his engine guards. Messy, but not really serious.

Xpost from the Toronto LAN thread. Nothing special, just a couple of phone pics of my baby around town... just enjoying the last bit of warmth before I have to put Shai-Hulud away for the winter. Took her down to the sexiest place in Canada, the Toronto Harbourfront! the new season of Big Mouth has a couple of quality nods to Canada and that's one of them
