what an excellent video. I'm gonna go to the shop in the morning and get the ingredients. I've got loads of scratched cd's.

I was just cleaning my bike after LLandegla/moors run and sprayed WD40 on my brakes instead of brake cleaner do you think it will have any long term effects,I did respray over them with cleaner but would rather be save than sorry.

Interesting technique, no wonder you got round so fast.  Is that what DH racers do?

Well Steve the speed you go round back pedal brakes would do ya ha ha

Because I begrudge paying 20 greenbacks for a pair of pads, when I contaminated mine with DOT 4 (along with one of my eyes - don't ask) I whapped them under the grill on max for half an hour. Job done, good as new.

They are in the oven as we speak,I cooked them on the hob first so will let you all know the results tomorrow,going the Matthew street festival now to have a few Lambrini,s.

Failing that "Discobrakes.com" do pads at a v reasonable price and they sintered I purchased seem to be doing ok.

Lesson to be learnt..

never take wd40 near bikes.. (GT85 is much nicer).

WD40 stays sticky, and means that muck sticks to whatever you put it on.

I tried  all the above solutions and to be Honest was impressed,my brakes are not as good as they were but for a sunny summer day they would be ok.But I have decided to put new pads on the front seeing as we doing the peaks Sunday.Thanks for all your help.

You could also try boiling the pads in water.

The oil will float to the top.

If they're organic, add some carrots and a little coriander. Mmmm.
