I would agree with you there, I run Pagid RS29's all round at the moment and don't have this problem, perhaps that's because I'm on OEM calipers but they certainly don't bite that bad at all!

My only gripe with them is the squealing around town, I sound like a 40ft artic pulling up but considering its only people around that I'll never see again I really don't give a shit! Lol

I had the same problem and threw them away.
Happy with my RS-14s now in the AP racing brakes

Typical Dazza. We love you mate.

The AP discs issues are known. I've had them myself but the caliper is absolutely fine. Pedal feel is progressive, fade non-existant lap after lap. Some find AP's discs a problem, others not. I prefer the PF discs.

As mentioned before Titan's problems seem to be bedding in. Do this right and you cannot go wrong with RS29's. On raod or track. I've run the same set-up for 3 years. Simples.

Did Simpsons bed yours in properly for you Alex? I think this has got to be the best route, let an expert do it once and do it right! Julian bedded my pads for me when I was last there

pads are pretty easy, discs are alot harder

Pete Collen at AP did mine once when i was up there getting my discs sorted and i felt sick for 3 days!

I agree with the boys

AP's with RS29's all i have used on road and track i must be lucky as mine have never squealed.

No Dan. Bedding them in is my job.

When used properly there will be no squealing.

~Its the guys who potter about like miss daisy, that suffer more squealing.

I do agree that on track they dont squeal when hot, it's only on crappy commuter routes that they do it!
