i just changed my pads and took em for a test run, they do need to be bled but were good enough to stop me (i just couldn't lock em up) anyway i was riding them hard and when i came home after like 15 mins there was a bit of smoke comming outta the brake area and it reeked like burning pads is that bad ? or is it cause there new ?

 

you gotta break brake pads in right, otherwise you'll end up with bad rotors and such.

 

yea i popped em in, there def in right,,,,and the wheels spin freely or at least they were before i put it on the ground i gotta recheck that tom morn

 

friction makes smoke, so maybe something made your brake pads stay against your rotors

 

i was riding them a bit because they don't have the greatest stopping right now, maybe that did it,

You need to "bed" them. Mine smoked a little when i first bedded mine in.
