Pad deposits question

[trickywoo]

Just wondering about the hard braking cure for pad deposits.

Is it the heat build up from repeated heavy braking which burns off the deposits or is it the extra friction wearing them off?

I think it's the extra friction. When I've done it I've found that braking hard a few times from 70-ish has cured the problem - no way is that going to get the discs hot enough to burn anything off.

Thanks. I guess if you went mad and managed to cook the brakes it could cause other problems.

I've kind of come to the conclusion anyway that I have a run out / high spot issue so will lay off the big stops.
