    Couldn't find a thread on it, thought it may be of some use for people to give their thoughts on their "scrubbing in process. May also help with new riders who have never had the pleasure of doing the ritual.
    Do you follow the letter of the rule and do 100 miles with caution?
    The reason behind this is i had to scrub a new set in on Sunday (Dunlop RoadSmart 2's)
    After the deluge of rain on Saturday and cooling temperatures it was a bit tip toey to start with as there was alot of damp patches and even more crap washed onto the road surface.
    So, 5 miles of steady acceleration and gentle banking, a further 2 miles of hard acceleration and braking to get the tyres up to temp and then it was off to the Cirencesterl ring road to do a few circuits of decent roundabouts and gradually build up the lean angle. Then off to the ToysRus roundabout which has 4 apexes and a lovely exit which helps with getting the left done. So all in all they were pretty much done in 50 miles. It was then off for another 100 miles of hooning.
