    I had to really, really cook mine until they were completely shot and i had no pedal left (1st day of tassie)
    After that their performance picked up substantially and i couldn't get them to fade at all, also the squeal has also reduced to almost nothing.

    so a bit like a woman, you gotta treat them mean so they know their place, before they improve and do what you want them to.

    another thing you will enjoy
    i clean the front wheels once in a blue moon
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Just an update,

    seem the low speed squeal has disappeared.

    I haven't used them down a mountain run yet, but seems like a great day to day pad.
