Ceramic Brake Pads, Part II

Well, Pups now has new brakes to go with her new shoes, courtesy of the online yard sale. A victim, er, I mean customer came by to pick up their items and even while saying it was a mistake looked through everything, including some items not yet out. They left. To go to the bank, and when they had returned and then left again, Pups and I celebrated the unexpected windfall by getting the new brakes.

As it turned out, they don’t make ceramic pads for the rear brakes, so they are only on the front. For the next few days I am being very gentle with them so that we can work the system, check it out, and then do any tweaking necessary. So far, it does not look like any will be needed, but it is best to be safe about such things. So far, I can really tell that the work was done – much better. Once they are broken in and I have the chance to really use them, I will report back and I will also over time try to detail how well they do and how long they truly last. For now, all is good. What will matter is performance over time, and that will remain to be seen.
