Default Brake Dust

I just went with a single HHI 6 caliper on my bike.&nbsp\\; I wash my bike and on the first ride I get brake dust all over my wheels.&nbsp\\; How do I make it stop? []

I was getting some dust on my wheels from the stock HD brake pads. I recently changed over to Lyndal gold racing pads which are supposed to significantly reduce the brake dust.

Better pads will do the trick. Look at the front wheels on Ford vehicles. They have the worst dust I've ever seen.&nbsp\\;

Try looking at some BMW wheels.
They have to be the worst.
