LOL at Steve, the voice of reason and information

I am looking forward to bedding in my Brembo/Carbotech combo! When I did the last bedding in on my old Carbotechs, I had smoke coming from them too, but they were not red or anything. I was getting the AYC lighting up plenty when braking hard though

Ruddy bunch of lightweights, here's a feeble example ;

Brake dust is very flammable, regardless of brakes not being so !
In fact, anything in the form of powder, when suspended/floating in air, is extremely explosive. [Google Bird's custard factory explosion]

Anything? Dude, that's a LOT of stuff!

Never mined the brakes smoking. The bit of stuff at the end of the vid is smoking

Sorry, slight exaggeration, organic dusts (e.g. custard powder, icing sugar, flour, coffee, dust in grain silos, and coal dust, et.al.) can explode violently under certain conditions. The material has to be a fine dust cloud in a confined space and in the right concentration. Then, when a source of ignition is applied, the dust can explode.

The only inorganic materials which can explode are elements for example; magnesium, sulphur and aluminium. These do form explosive dusts because they are oxidised rapidly when in a finely divided state (i.e. a dust)




Aboo,
If she was in a beauty contest, in marks out of ten, I'd give it one . . . !
