My buddy the mechanic told me to bed in pads on gravel. Smoked them in 30 seconds flat.

Huh, 30 seconds is real quick even for a mistake on gravel. Did he actually say what you should've done instead, or was it just a "well that was dumb" kind of thing? Curious if he had a proper method in mind or was just messing with you.

Hear me out though maybe that 30 seconds actually does matter in a race scenario where every second counts for your overall time. @fionaw54, if you're pushing hard on gravel and the bike starts sliding, trying to save it for half a minute is just asking to crash harder than if you dab a foot early and get back on the gas. The old guy probably meant you should've just committed to the slide or put a foot down way sooner instead of half assing it for so long.
