My driver side front brake duct became dislodged during the enduro at TWS. There was almost twice the wear on the pads on that side compared to the right. I did not realize the dramatic effect of cooling on pad wear. FYI

While doing front hubs after TWS I noticed a huge amount of rubber and rocks that were stuck in on the inside of both rotors clogging the vanes. It just took a minute or so to clean out but I was surprised at how much was in there.

That is surprising to me since TWS isn't hard on brakes. Why don't you experiment with that at ECR. At least you know your ducts are working.
