Heat is what causes brake fade.
And what "gases" are you talking about? LOL
Superheated air? Because there is no gases being emitted by your hydraulic brake system.
well, mr. science, I guess you should talk to Brembo, Baer, and others and have them rewrite all of their brake literature. gases build up as a result of the different compounds and chemicals used in the brake pad and rotor manufacturing process.
