Bed in brakes

[Polar]

I know it's important to bed in new pads but when the rotors is cleaned is it any point to bed in again.

Yes.

Yes, because when you cleaned the rotor, you also removed the brake pad material.

And in order for the brakes to work as designed, the bed in has to transfer material from the pads to the rotor.

Thanks that's what I thought since as you said the pad material will disappear whic is part of the bed in proses

I always clean the Rotors after wash and I never bed in after this. I don't notice any differences and don't believe the story about pad material on Rotors. Also for ex. Magura ist nothing writing about this:

In the winter I clean rotors and wash the bike often since I have to go through town with lots of salt to get to the forest and everyone I read how important it is to bed in the brakes except on Galfer website they say their pads doesn't need to and that's the pads I prefer.
But on the other hand the bed in proses is to get material on the rotor as far as I understand and it's lots of articles saying what can go wrong with the pads if they are not bed in like less brake power etc so it's a bit confusing.

Depends on how and how much you cleaned them. The more you clean the more they need to be bed in. Soap and water, no. Steal wool/sand paper and disk cleaner, yes.

Muc-off disc brake cleaner but brakes works perfectly for me so I don't bother to bed in again just wonderd about the bed in process ​

If during cleaning the brake pad material deposited on the rotor is not removed then all good. If it is removed then need to go through the bedding in process again.
