Shout out to my buddy Mike Nacarato who attacked my rear disc brake conversion and new front rotor replacement yesterday. He let me paint my front calipers and "pump" the brake pedal when it came time to bleed the brake lines. We both went out to "bed" the rotors and pads. Nothing like the sound and smell of brake pads bedding in. Mike got a kick out of my "sense of smell".
I went out today and pushed them a little more. I'll gently increase the braking the next couple of days to make sure all is well. Garm stressed "bedding" them in properly so they don't become noisy.
NEW: R1 Concepts front brake rotors & Carbotech brake pads / Rear Disc brake conversion. Don't they look swell !!!
