Braking system final inspections

a. There must not be any interference between disc and caliper.

b. The max temperature reached by the calipers must be lower than 180°C (inspection to be carried out through the thermo tapes applied on the calipers).

c. Check the working temperature of the discs, verifying the changes occurred to the thermal paints applied on the external diameter of the discs.

If the braking system performance is not considered satisfactory, it is necessary to reduce the discs ventilation. Furthermore a rapid quick cooling could increase the risk of cracks on the discs. If discs reach high temperature, it is necessary to improve the cooling. A high working temperature of the discs causes a decay of the braking power and excessively high temperatures in the brake calipers.
