The final step in installing your Traild brake pads is to bed the pads. The bedding procedure will heat your brakes to transfer an even layer of ceramic pad material onto the rotors which helps brake performance, feel, and prevents brake noise.  

• Use firm brake pressure to slow from ~35 MPH to 5 MPH. Repeat 5 times.
• Use firm brake pressure to slow from ~25 MPH to 5 MPH. Repeat 5 times.
• Drive for 5-10 minutes, using the brakes minimally, to allow the brakes to cool.
• Try to avoid coming to a complete stop during the bedding procedure.
• Once the brakes have cooled you can use them normally.

 Debris is the enemy of brake pads. To extend the life of your pads, tap your brakes when you exit a mud hole to clear your brakes.
