Good stuff guys! The trick is finding a place where you won't have to come to a complete stop. Difficult to find a place in the city.

Cool vid. Just what I was looking for. I've read about bedding in new brakes/rotors, but wasn't sure if I was supposed to come to a complete stop or not. Now I know!
