SamKidney Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 You can put them in the oven to evaporate the oil that's been soaked up but they are never as good as new pads that's some thing I have done in the past works ok These seemed to be working just as well as the new pads I fitted on the rear. Didn't let me down once over almost a year. But I agree with you. 9/10 times new pads are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Don't forget the chemical they use to bond the pad material to the backing plate doesn't like extreme temps so don't use a naked flame to remove oil as you will seperate the pad. The oven will be fine. But Bing is right you will be much better off with new pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree new pads are the ultimate solution, new rotor isn´t necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Go use a flame on your pads then. Your such a clever doofus, if your info isn't quite true please add the words maybe or possible. Flames and bike brake pads don't go togetether even if casper cyclist 88 says its ok to shoot them with ripleys flame thrower of aliens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Could be to do with them being the Pro model... I've had trouble with them in the wet / damp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleys sugden Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 yeah they are the pro ones, they are normally insane in the wet and the snow! the brake is getting better, it just could do with bedding in now on a steep hill again, but it will have to wait now more snow has come.
