You are correct my friend. Worked great,,, as long as you never used them.

FYI Ceramic pads are known to fade hence they are not recommended when towing. People run ceramic for other reasons such as cleaner wheels and not for increased braking performance. Running/braking bike hard will have similar effect as towing and fade braking. Sintered will eat your rotors faster.

I would prefer to have the rotors wear away, than do a Flintstones stop dragging my feet. It costs more to resole my boots than a new rotor.
