What Disc Brakes to Use

I disagree with Redfish. The main advantage of disk brakes is their superior heat dissipation and resulting lack of fade.

I agree with the person who said that if you did the 10 hard stops back to back, you may have glazed the brake pads. Did this once on a drum brake car and got the same experience. Lo-Tech solution is to get a file to remove the glaze, Hi-Tech is to take to machine shop to have it removed by milling machine. The latter method assures a uniform thickness across the pad.
