You can eyeball them from above the caliper but it's probably worth pulling them out. Wheel off, undo the long Allen pin then push them into the centre and pull them out. The Pistons are magnetised...it's a safety feature. Just so you know.

Ta. Tried that but I can't tell what's pad material and what's backing plate if you know what I mean? I'll have to take them apart. Not riding tomorrow so probably won't bother. Might see if any of the bike shops in town have pads and slicks for it and then build it up properly on the weekend.
hippy
Do I need to pull the pads out to check or just remove the wheel? No idea how far they stick out.
