Below are test setups to measure pad co-efficient of friction. The facility is able to simulate wet conditions as well. Brake pad wear is measured to within 1/100 gram accuracy. Courtesy WorldClassCycles.
I'm wondering how they make these pads but ingredients are often closely guarded manufacturing secrets.
