GPFAX is the new compound that replaces GPFA 

  • ONLY FOR RACE USE
  • The highest performance friction level known
  • NOT R90 street legal or TÜV tested
  • Guaranteed for lifetime performance

    GPFAX Sintered Road Race Brake Pads have by far the highest known friction with a measurement between 0.6 and 0.7 and deliver the most amazing brake effect. Because of this factor, they are unsuitable for street use or for road tires.

    Zero brake fade is guaranteed and the heat stability of these brake pads is perfect leaving the racer with high confidence and a product that can be used over numerous races.

    GPFAX Sintered Road Race brake pads are a closed circuit use pad only and street/highway riding with this material is highly inadvisable and dangerous. Such high friction levels as delivered by these pads are for ideal track conditions with race tires or slicks on prepared asphalt surfaces and NOT for use with highway tires or on the highway. This material is not ECE R 90 approved nor TUV tested with a German ABE and use on the highway is, therefore, illegal in many countries.

    The material quickly builds from an initial friction level of 0.6 ( which in itself is a massive brake friction level rarely achieved by any competitor material) up to a huge 0.7 with a minimum in-stop friction level of 0.65. This tiny fall off from 07 – 0.65 during braking would be almost undetectable by the rider allowing superb brake feedback and control at the lever and allowing feathering of the brake predictably and steadily throughout deceleration.

    The new material also wears better and causes lower rotor/disc damage than previous materials and should be good for 4-5 race events of a typical 20-25 lap duration minimum. Pads should be discarded when less than 2.5 mm of friction material remains to avoid fluid vapor lock due to excess piston fluid volume.

    This material contains no toxic lead nickel or zinc which is a trick used by our competitors to ramp up friction levels the cheap way.

    Preparing your Race discs/rotors before using this Compound 
    Many pads contain carbon particles some in high percentages and this leaves a grey glaze on rotors. This MUST be removed by fine abrasive paper or what is known as a Scratch Pad in the USA. Take care not to promote deep scratches on the rotor which will cause prolonged bedtimes.

    CORRECT USAGE!

    Bedding in your new brake pads

    After installing the pads ride the bike for 2 laps very gently applying the brakes well in advance of where you wish to stop at speeds not exceeding 80 MPH.

    Proceed a further 2-3 laps gradually increasing the brake load until you feel the pads become stable and predictable.

    Bedding into worn or distorted discs/rotors will be dramatically longer.

    Inspect pads every Race for wear on EACH pad and replace when any single pad is down to 2.5 mm or lever becomes spongy. Different brake systems respond differently and have differing amounts of fluid in their piston chambers and the time for an ideal replacement of the pads due to loss of brake feel can only be assessed by the individual rider and bike

    Brake fluid considerations

    Old brake fluid affects the sponge and brake feel. Most brake fluids are Glycol based and over time their hygroscopic nature means they will absorb moisture even through the brake lines. As amazing as this sounds it does happen and fluids can contain as much as 12% water by volume in worst cases.

    It is highly advised to replace brake fluid every 6-8 race events as a minimum with a high wet boiling point fluid such as Maxima Race fluid. Use only fluids from a sealed container, never from a bulk can or drum as in this storage condition the fluid will act like an old material even before you use it having absorbed water since originally opened.

    Reshuffle Just Reshuffled My Perspective
    Format: Paperback
    Reshuffle completely reshaped how I think about Gen AI and disruption. Sangeet Paul Choudary does a brilliant job of weaving real-life examples with practical frameworks, making big shifts in tech feel both understandable and actionable. What I loved most is how he pushes the conversation beyond the usual “AI won’t take your job, but someone who knows AI will.” Instead, he asks the tougher question: what if the job itself no longer exists because of AI? It’s bold, thought-provoking, and incredibly relevant for anyone navigating change right now. This book feels less like theory and more like a roadmap — one that left me reflecting on my own work and excited about the opportunities ahead. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for fresh ways to think about leadership in the age of AI.

    Overall sound thesis worthy of thoughtful consideration
    Format: Kindle
    Choudary’s book has the tag line, “Who wins when AI restacks the knowledge economy.” While the book is annoying in sections, vague in others, and prone to jargon in yet more locations, the basic thesis is sound and compelling. It’s worth considering. Choudary’s main argument is that the winners after AI technology is widely adopted will be those who take a systems view of their business rather than simply upgrading individual elements within it. He backs this with several examples based on past technological disruptions and hypothetical case studies. He argues that the best advantages from AI will come from improved communication and managing risk. He supports these arguments reasonably well within the chapters. He also includes 10 Takeaways at the end of each chapter, which is extremely helpful for recapping and making sure the reader understood the thesis. What gets annoying is Choudary goes back to the same case studies again and again and again. I reached the point of saying, “the horse is dead. Please stop flogging it.” Next, some of his arguments about things like “managing risk” are vague—there’s not enough about specific risks to be useful, which leaves AI as a magic wand to wave. Finally, as with many business writers, Choudary occasionally (but not overwhelmingly) drops into jargon like “technological solutionism.” Overall, I recommend the book. It’s made me think, even as I struggle to apply the principles to my own business.

    Must read - Insightful and Trusted
    Format: Paperback
    Reading “Reshuffle” was both intellectually energizing and personally relevant for me. Sangeet Paul Choudary’s work is more than just a business strategy manual, it’s a lucid roadmap for thriving amid constant change. Having spent the past decade steering our teams through multiple waves of technological disruption, I recognized my own journey in Choudary’s stories of platform transformation. His concepts of “connectors” and “combinators” spoke directly to challenges I’ve faced: breaking down silos, fostering creative recombination of ideas, and unlocking new sources of value in our organization. There were moments while reading when I paused, reflected on recent strategy sessions, and realized how much we could benefit from the frameworks outlined here. What truly set “Reshuffle” apart for me was Choudary’s ability to tie cutting-edge AI trends to everyday executive decisions. When he wrote about the collision between legacy content pipelines and new generative workflows, it echoed conversations I’ve had with other executives. “Reshuffle” reminded me that constant evolution isn’t just a necessity, it’s an opportunity to lead with optimism and vision. Choudary’s voice is empathetic, insightful, and refreshingly practical, making the book feel like advice from a trusted colleague as much as a renowned thought leader. In short, “Reshuffle” is a must-read for anyone tasked with steering a tech company through turbulent times. For me, it has become a personal touchstone for navigating and embracing what’s next.

    Finally, a framework that makes sense of AI's impact on knowledge work
    Format: Kindle
    Most books about AI focus on task automation and productivity gains. Reshuffle does something different: it explains how AI restructures entire systems through three constraints: tasks, coordination, and risk. For someone working in the language services industry, this book was revelatory. It helped me understand why so many conversations about AI and translation feel misdirected. We debate whether AI will replace translators when the real question is: how will AI reshuffle who creates value in language services? Choudary's central insight is that when AI removes old constraints (like scarcity of expertise), value doesn't disappear. It migrates to new coordination and risk management challenges. This applies across all knowledge professions, not just translation. Section 2 on knowledge work is particularly strong. It shows that lawyers, consultants, accountants, and translators are all experiencing the same fundamental transformation. We're not uniquely vulnerable; we're part of a larger reshuffling of how knowledge creates value. If you're trying to position yourself or your organization for what's coming, this book offers the clearest framework I've found. It's not about having better AI tools. It's about understanding where value pools are forming in the new system. Recommended for anyone in knowledge work who wants to move beyond surface-level AI discussions.

    Not like any other how-to book on AI--Eric Swanson's Review
    Format: Kindle
    Reshuffle is not another “how to use AI” guide. It’s a powerful, big-picture look at how AI is reshaping the very foundations of the knowledge economy. Sangeet doesn’t just explore tools—he reveals the tectonic shifts in how knowledge is created, distributed, and valued. Most people use AI to improve old systems; this book shows why the winners will be those who understand and adapt to entirely new ones. Using powerful examples from history, like the bar code, container boxes and the Maginot Line, Sangeet creates powerful frames for new ways of thinking. Insightful, clear, and compelling, Reshuffle is essential reading for anyone who wants to lead in the age of AI
