Edit:
They might not need a transfer layer, just wanted to say that they certainly build one.
Also written about the RC5+:
"If you do happen to push it over its temperature threshold, bite slowly tapers away rather than falling off a cliff, so you’ll easily recognize when it’s time to back off. It’s extremely wear resistant, and doesn’t destroy rotors with pad deposits when pushed to their temperature envelope.
Let's say I have a different experience with that too.  |
My experience however is pretty much what was to be expected from CL's description... But that doesn't mean anything, each car/driver is different.
I'm eager to see you impressions with the Carbotechs once you get them.
PS: Regarding the braking technique, i'm afraid i can't say much on top of what's already been said. But practice makes perfect, right?
