    Compared to the effect of outgassing on older brake systems, I'd say the effect of outgassing on modern brakes is hardly an issue. One of the reasons we progressed to disk brakes was because they don't suffer from brake fade anywhere near as much drum brakes. For modern brake pads and rotors to be suffering from outgassing, they need to be getting rather hot, hot to the point where your pads are just about catching fire. At which point, I'm of the belief that having xdrilled rotors is going to make SFA difference
    Each to their own though.

    Job ALMOST done.
    2 pads to put in the last overhauled caliper,bleed/flush that caliper then roadtest.
    Using genuine pads,the info sheet has a diagram which basicaly translates to dont brake heavily in the first 200km.
    Any thoughts on bedding the rotors/pads in.

    Good work Andy.

    accelerate to about 80kmh, firmly brake down to about 30, then repeat 4 to 5 times, allowing cooling off between stops.

    Job completed
    The first few brake applications at low speed were interesting,almost felt like I had greased the rotors
    4 or 5 applications from 80kmh sorted it out.Good pedal and a rough feling thru the steering is gone.3 amigoes didnt raise their ugly heads either
