[quote][i]Originally posted by alan-g-w[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by AK[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by alan-g-w[/i] Why would these pad deposits not be rubbed off by the pads when you clap them on at 100mph though AK? If I'm correct, you're saying they leave deposits if the disc gets so hot that it melts the pad onto it. Say you were braking from 100mph, surely the pad material would then be heated up and rubbed off the surface of the disc? And for anyone that's saying it's all about heating them up until they're pliable - who says they need to be pliable to bend them? If I was to take a disc off my car and whack it with a ball pein hammer it'd dent it wouldn't it? Obviously your pads in the caliper's not really the same but just because a disc isn't at 1200degrees doesn't mean it can't change shape. [/quote] HEAT SPOTS.... the pad deposits create different surfaces so certain spots get hotter and build up more deposits [/quote] You've clearly missed my whole point. You say you get pad deposits on the disc from the disc being so hot they 'melt' onto it. How in the name of fuck can you claim that these bits of pad then become the same hardness as the metal of the disc? If it happens by sitting at the lights with your foot on the brake, surely the next time you went on a spirited drive, heated up the discs but USED the brakes at the same time the fact that these pad deposits are getting heated up to their 'melting point' (ie - the same temp they were when you were sitting at the lights with the pads clamped creating them) would mean that the pads would wipe the disc clean? How would the pad deposits be so hard that they could stand up to that? [/quote]
