What tools will you need?
When carrying out this task, you may need: A brake pad spacer, brake cleaner, and a microfibre cloth.
To be able to brake effectively on your bike, it\'s crucial to bed-in your brakes.
Proper bedding-in means gradually heating up the brake pads and discs to make them more effective.Before starting out, make sure the discs are clean and consider replacing them if you\'re changing the brake pads.Wear a helmet, get hold of a cycle computer or GPS, and pick a flat road that\'s dry and obstacle-free.
A few extra tips for bedding-in your disc brakes:
For correct bedding-in, use one brake at a time: that way, you won\'t damage the brake pads.It is advisable to cycle on a flat road, smoothly, without braking abruptly.Be patient, as the process can take up to 30 minutes. If you notice colourful reflections on your discs or impaired braking, it may mean your brake pads are glazed.Get them checked ath the Decathlon workshop.
The bedding-in process means applying the brakes gradually over a series of intervals, increasing your speed at each interval.
Apply the front and back brakes alternately so as to bed them in with balance.Start at 15 km/h and brake gradually till you slow down to 5 km/h, ten times. Repeat this at 20 km/h then at 25 km/h.After each stage, ride a few dozen metres without braking to let the system cool down.

Product Reviews
Been mtb now for about 30 years. These pads have the most effective braking performance. Better than shimano xt sintered costing around 4 times per pair. I can't comment about longevity yet but I'm going to stock up before you all buy the lot of them!
Installed a new set of Simano-branded pads before a multi-day expedition race, featuring big mountain biking stages. Halfway through the race, the Shimanos had worn out. Luckily I had the B'Twin pads as spares, otherwise I would have been in real trouble - the Basque country is notoriously hilly. The B'Twins lasted perfectly well, and I'm still using them. I won't be going back to the Shimano pads (which cost £17.99 at Halfords!). Yes, the Shimano were full metal pads, not organic. Am very pleased with the B'Twins.
