Bedding in Brakes
There seems to be many schools of thought on how best to bed in new brakes, ranging on taking it easy for a couple of hundred miles to undertaking a series of moderate decelerations from 60 down to 15mph straight away.
I'm just talking about standard brakes, not performance.
I was wondering what the learned members of this board suggest. Any tips on how to avoid glazed pads?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
