Rebel Rider: Did you have to break in the Z-plus pads? If so, what did you do? thanks

"break in"? we dont need no stinking "break in"!

if so does it mean mine will only get better?

honestly I don't know, seemed great from the start... stopped me good at a sudden light change the first ride, good thing as leo was at crossroad.

follow whatever lyndall/specs say.
