Bleaching brake pads ??????

(1/1)

Jaymz:
Can I bleach these?? Or will it degrade them. I bleached an old set off one of my kids bikes and now when you brake it comes off all powdery, like someones dropped a few grams of coke over the bike!!!

wildon:
I bleached some of the same pads.  They look fine although i haven't ridden them

Jaymz:
 :daumenhoch: so at least i now they will go white, but will they go all powdery like the others – they are useless, ive worn them right down on 10 rides and the bike looks like its been attacked by a snow globe!!

ThisBitterPill:
In another hobby of mine, we use Steradent tablets to bring white plastic up nice and bright without damaging it....Might be worth a try seeing as they're cheap.... :)

Jaymz:
Did a test run on a pair, two hours in bleach and they came out white

The rest  are sat in a pot of bleach as we speaak
