Ice mode solution?

cossie1600 · 05-10-2011, 11:52 PM

I was busy and had to leave my XP10s on the past two weeks. In an autox at a smooth lot two weeks ago, the brakes were fine. On a bumpy lot this past Sunday, I experienced ice mode no matter how soft or hard I got on the throttle. I ended up having to brake at least one set of gate earlier and I still had trouble making through the turns as the brakes would grab and then go into ice mode. I understand my race pads had everything to do with it, but god the ABS is awful. Brake temperature might not help the situation, but I can tell you ice mode hit from turn 1 to the last turn. It just wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. The aggressive pads and the less than ideal surface had everything to do with it. I had no problem at a smooth lot just a week ago.
