• How shit will braking be if I throw on a set of road resin Shimano pads after using metal Shimano pads without cleaning the rotors?

    I've chopped and changed between compounds before but I've always cleaned the rotors off with IPA or disc cleaner and I wonder if I buy spare resin pads and swap them in the field without doing anything else, will they work ok after a couple of stops?

  • I've never bothered when changing pad types. By the time you do the bedding in process for teh new pads they'll be fine IME

  • Cheers. I've used metal pads for years now but they're harder to find so I'm thinking of moving to resin (at least for spares during ultras).
