That's something I've always wondered about and theorized that you don't really need to toe brake blocks in so long as they're not toed out to start with. The way that the friction forces resolve when the wheel is turning forward, the rear of the pads will be more heavily loaded if they start out parallel and therefore wear faster and develop a natural toe-in. -- John Betmanis Woodstock, Ontario Canada
