Re: Brake Pads

Thanks all, Yes, I have noticed the engine braking when changing down.

Anderson Paak at the NPR tiny desk. Absolutely quality IMO. Continue exploring NPR and there's a quality Sting and Shaggy production too, as well as many others. There's nothing like music stripped down like this.
