Old RS29 pads on new Alcon disks
Discussion
Quick question for the track enthusiasts/club racers. The surface of my RS29 front pads are glazed and cracked but are only 2-3 hours old (track time). I'm having the brake ducts replaced which should improve the cooling.
I am also replacing the front Alcons. Ordinarily when my front pads have plenty of wear remaining, I leave them on when the disks are changed and rebed them to ensure an even mating between the two surfaces - never had any issues with this method in the past.
On this occasion the surface condition of the the existing pads makes me wonder if I should consider junking them. Does glazing typically affect the material properties throughout the thickness of the pad, or can I simply skim them down a millimetre and continue to drive them down to their usual 3-4mm minimum?
