Editing Brake fade (section)

==Controlling fade through driving technique==
Brake fade and [[disc brake|rotor]] warping can be reduced through proper braking technique; when running down a long downgrade that would require braking simply select a lower gear (this is required for many trucks on steep grades in the U.S.). Also, periodic, rather than continuous application of the brakes will allow them to cool between applications. Continuous light application of the brakes can be particularly destructive in both wear and adding heat to the brake system.<ref name="UMTRI">{{cite journal|last1=Fancher|first1=P.|last2=Winkler|first2=C.|last3=Campbell|first3=M.|title=The influence of braking strategy on brake temperatures in mountain descents|journal=The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute|date=March 1992|volume=UMTRI-92-11|page=2|url=https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/960/82902.0001.001.pdf?sequence=2|accessdate=24 October 2017}}</ref>
