Track Wisdom

"The mark of a great racer is consistency. If you can consistently lap a track at the limit, with the lap times varying no more than 1/2 second, then you have a chance to be a winner. If your lap times vary more than that, no matter how fast some of them are, you won't win often."

-- Ross Bentley, Speed Secrets

Bending Tabs for Heat Shields (some models)

This video shows you how to install the TiSpeed brake shims that use bent tabs to hold them in place. Most of our heat shields simply hang off the caliper pins and require no tools for installation beyond what is required for a simple brake pad change. However some of our heat shields make use of tabs to be bent in place by the customer for maximum hold on the brake pad. This 5 minute video walks you through the simple process, which will take ~10 minutes to complete.

We recommend using an old brake pad for shaping the shim tabs over. This will free you from having to protect the surface of the pad, and allow you to torch and bang away without worrying about excessive heat or overly enthusiastic hammering. :) However, if you are reasonably careful the shaping can be done over new pads with no problems.
