Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend me any quiet road around / in Reading (certainly non residential ;) ) for brakes bedding-in procedure (5-7 tries from 60 to 10 mph)??? Not really keen on doing it on M4 :( and obviously, its gonna be more or less busy so not very safe either.

only place i can think of is around the madjeski stadium area after hours.

edit: make sure you speak to the security guards to make sure its okay!

head for jnc 11 of m4 and take the exit for reading. then follow the signs for madjeski stadium. as for the lights outside my shop. you may get some trouble from the local whitley chav posse!!

Thanks for the directions!
Another option would be going to a track.
The problem is that after bedding-in I have to drive 5-10 mins so the brakes are gonna cool off. I would be funny to see how my BMW's braking hard 7 times and then doing many laps at the FC :D
