I knew it would be another week before getting the metal pads so I decided to head up Pikes Peak again. I was hopeful that the bedding in process on the lower part of the mountain from the first trip and cleaning the pads and rotor would help. After braking through the first couple switchbacks the brakes began to howl again. The fore and aft shuttering was better but the overall experience was still not good.
I felt a little better about the brake performance but decided I needed to gather some real data. The next day at work I located our Fluke Ti32 Thermal Imager and spent some time familiarizing myself with it. Best of all, it looked like it would fit inside my CamelBak Blowfish.
