Shellite is naphtha. But it's not pure. The diggers stuff has even lighter contaminates in it, and I think it's xylene.

It's simply the finish of the steel stock before they laser cut the rotor out of it. At least for the steel stock you know it's an even thickness/pattern across the braking track.Why do you think there is a coarse finish on brand new rotors ?
This might explain why I don't skid into corners.Your braking performance would likely be decreased by half a poofteenth! I hope you allow for that as you charge into that -30% hairpin and pull a stoppie to get around it!
You've been watching too many internet videos, the higher end rotors are radially ground to a certain surface finish and it aids with the bedding in procedure. The rough surface does 2 things, 1. it helps mate the new surfaces between the rotor and pad, 2. it loads the rotor disc with brake pad material and smoothens the disc surface. Shiny polished rotors are only good for wind chimes, after long use the heat ends up hardening the rotor's surface and especially stainless rotors.It's simply the finish of the steel stock before they laser cut the rotor out of it.

The fundamental principle that disk brakes work due to friction between pads and pad material embedded into the rotors is often forgotten.You've been watching too many internet videos, the higher end rotors are radially ground to a certain surface finish and it aids with the bedding in procedure.

Since when have brakes had data storage capacity?...disk brakes...
My ebike has data acquisition sensors all over it, where else am I to store my 100TB of data?Since when have brakes had data storage capacity?
It must be good to record that kind of ride analytics and then put an improvement plan into place? How are you compiling the raw data and converting it to knowledge?My ebike has data acquisition sensors all over it, where else am I to store my 100TB of data?

In a pinch Ive swapped out pads on the bike between races then bedded the new pads on warm up lap before gridding up, it's not ideal but does work.I bet if it went fast enough you would have, nothing unusual to deglaze rotors and pads between races in a race car.
Of coarse it does but someone that's done the right thing will have better brakes than you and dependant on the condition of the rotors, types of pads and the sort of brake loads your going to put on them.In a pinch Ive swapped out pads on the bike between races then bedded the new pads on warm up lap before gridding up, it's not ideal but does work.
That is all true, the last point is key there, and here too esp given the variety of shitty mtb brake systems out there, and then how much you may need to chase performance with prep and hard parts in a less than awesome setup.Of coarse it does but someone that's done the right thing will have better brakes than you and dependant on the condition of the rotors, types of pads and the sort of brake loads your going to put on them.

Sometimes it will leave a faint white residue, but never oily. If you leave the lid off the container long, the xylene, which does all the cleaning, evaporates.
Calling redbruce our chemist. I think it's xylene, whatever it is, it's a shiz for cleaning.
