I’m sorry, I seem to have given the wrong impression by including my last paragraph regarding
another potential fallibility of the 410s brake systems. I should also have said fail rather than fade.
I ran a maintenance schedule which was based on Bristols recommendations but rather more rigorous. This included changing out the brake fluid on a very regular basis. Pads were also new and the discs relatively new on the alpine trip
I believe the fading I experienced resulted from overheated pads and unventilated discs (the pad material just doesn’t bite if it all gets too hot) rather than boiling fluid. I don’t recall the brake pedal hitting the floor as happens if the fluid boils.
