Default bedding in brakes and rain

just installed ap 4 pot fronts, ss lines, ferrodo pads and bleed lines...

its been raining so I can't do the recommended brake beeding of 80 to 10 or 100 to 60. I've driven roughly 10 miles to check for leaks and make sure everything works. I was wondering how important it is to bed the breaks immediately since I need to drive roughly 40 miles back to my apt. and don't know if conditions will be fine to bed the breaks. I don't have any squel and the brakes work. I will eventually do it as soon as the rain stops but wanted to see if it will cause any damage to pads or extreme wear to the pads. I assume it is not ideal but fine to drive in this condtion. any feedback would be great

You will be OK.

Bedding will lay down a thin layer of transfer film on to the rotor surface. Doesn't matter if you do it today or next week. Besides most brake pad compounds will take up to 300-400 miles to fully develop an even transfer film on the rotors.

Angry WoW power level told you

Everyday, we wake us and bathe the sunshine which is given by the same sun. We are all human beings. We may have the same name, but we are different individuals. We may do different jobs or eat different foods. There are not two coins that are exactly the same in the world. So it is in WoW. In game, we may have the same work while cannot have the same name. Some people abandon themselves to games to escape far away their real lives which may be full of bitter. Yet in WoW, WoW Power Leveling told you what life is too. You are wizard and I am wizard too. But you can do what you like, upgrade your character, make money, chat with friends, do counterpart, do game assignment and so on. But If I am a World of Warcraft Power Leveling, I can just do what the buyer told me. buy World of Warcraft cd key and warhammer cd key. Warhammer online Power leveling .

Most don't realize that rotors without the transfer film are very low in friction..........shiny smooth metal is especially worthless when wet.
