according to a former pro, you have to do that only once. if you dont do it properly, the pads will never be effective again

Hmm, so the pads only ever need to be bedded once? Even if I switch back and forth from them and street pads? I did bed them the first time I went out, just not this time.

I thought using the lube was necessary? I know others were doing this as well.

So what would cause my wheel to start shaking a bunch after it was acting fine for the first 7-8 sessions? They were still braking great, I was just getting a ton of shaking in the wheel which got me concerned.

Also what would make them get so much louder after a few days of use? I mean, braking was ridiculously loud, it sounded really hard like it was metal on metal.
