anyone know of a good area on the northside to properly bed new rotors??? the specs on the sheet are 6-8 stops from 35mph (not a hard stop but don't drag the brakes)
4-5 stops hard from 45-50mph but don't slam the brakes
I want to do this as safely as possible.... I was thinking of doing it early in the morning on a weekend.... possibly with a car behind me with the hazards on..... but any opinions on where would be good to do this?? |

I'm sure any secondary highway will do. That way, you wouldn't have to keep stopping and turning around. You could just stop and go with no traffic.

| interesting good point... also between the stops it says they want you to drive 10 mins without stopping between to cool off the brakes.... |

Yea so I would choose a secondary highway maybe early in the morning or later at night.

| If you have time head East down the Yellowhead out past Sherwood Park and head either North (to Ft. Sask) or South (Ardrossan/Park). The roads are in great condition and there are even some nice hills and twisties (but there is still some gravel...). I only see police on the major roads out there so you shouldn't be hassled, its still probably a good idea to use your hazards. |

I always used to do this on the highway out to Ft. Sask at 3:00 AM, after doing the brakes at the end of a workday. Note that Friday/Saturday nights are not necessarily the time to be "driving erratically." ;)
167 Ave used to work well too, back when everything north of there was open fields. Probably not so much, now. |

| Definitely not in Castlebrook ... bedding in my brakes cost me $182 or some crap like that out there. 64 in a 50 zone that should really be a 60 zone (4 lanes, divided by a median with no actual houses fronted on it). |
