[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 43611, member: 2708"] After losing the Commando front brake to heat fade and nearly running into the back of Robert Watson's Vincent on the Duffy lake road switchbacks a few years ago, I changed to Ferodo pads from Vintage brake. This made the brake lighter to apply, but didn't help at all with the heat problem. The pads on the original setup are just too tiny to be able to cope with repeated hard braking. The Vincent is just the opposite, the brakes never seem to fade under hard use, if anything heat makes them work even better. The Vincent lining must be at least ten times the surface area of those tiny little lockheed norton pads, it's a wonder they worked at all! [/QUOTE]
