G'day,
Performance Friction Carbon Metallic:

When you install these pads you MUST sand the surfaces of the disks on both sides with an orbiting sander using 40 grit paper and
spin the disk while you're sanding.
Why do that you ask?
Because doing so opens the pores in the cast iron which allows material can transfer from the pads to the disk. Dave Lenzi uses
these pads and has over 100,000 miles on his disks and they show no appreciable wear.
There have been comments that you have to warm them up before they work, Double Trouble has 80mm calipers on the front and middle
wheels and I have NOT found that to be the case.
