    PCCB surface fractures

    No replacement necessary as the connected surface fractures are < 1 cm2 !

  3. End of service life of friction surface or after highest load on a racing circuit.

    Replace brake discs if the connected friction surface damage is > 1 cm2-arrow-  . To do this, follow the instructions provided under

PCCB friction surface damage

The best way to detect a surface fracture is by checking the wear indicators. Based on the wear indicators, this means that at least one wear indicator -arrow-  must have a surface fracture of > 50% (damage > 1 cm2 /entire surface of a wear indicator with a surface area of approx. 2 cm2 ).
