I was having a look at the Alpkit site from another thread and spotted these. Are they some elaborate joke I'm going to get flamed for looking at or do these things exist, I've never heard of them before.

[i] Heat discs in a microwave for 3 minutes. Remove with silicon oven gloves and cool under water. If the plates sizzle and steam they have reached a high enough temperature to bed in. Transfer to wheel and ride.[/i]

Left on the site from April 1?

The ceramic disc plates offer unrivaled brake response providing consistent & gradual retardation.

Hmmmm I wonder.

Lesson 1 - Never quickly look at something on the internet before announcing it to the world without reading the description.

Lesson 2 - I will now feel like a complete tool for the rest of the day, please flame away or just shake your heads sadly and leave me to my humiliation
