  • Are new brake pads supposed to leave a stain on clean cloth?

    I have a few pairs of the Shimano J04Cs, which seem to be well received (http://www.jensonusa.com/Shimano-J04C-Metal-Disc-Brake-Pads).

    However, my problem is constant contamination after about 2 rides, which weirdly almost comes off with only hot water and bit of brushing. Anyway, the pads never seem “clean”. They will _invariably_ leave a dark stain on a clean cloth.

    I also tried with a brand new pair straight from the package, and same thing.

    Is this normal?

    Have they been bedded in – with some proper “hot stops” ?

    The old ones? Is contamination more likely with non-bedded in pads?
