Don't forget to change the pads, you'll wear out the stock pads in a month time.
Who fit your old disc calipers anyway? it's a little worrying that they didn't even notice that the pads is not on the rotor properly.

Thank Ed, genuinely don't know when to replace brake pads for disc, will take a mental photo when to replace these (what would you recommend)
It was also at lmnh, though granted there wasn't anything wrong with these until I took the bike to Epping forest, where the wheels did feel like it was coming off the wagon!

Slightly less wasteful...

So after Saturday's epic ride around Epping Forest with @BareNecessities and co, my All-city nature boy disc was a little worst for wear.
Stopping was the biggest issue as when I applied the disc brakes to stop the front and rear of the bike started to jump around and shake uncontrollably, so I decided to take the old gal to LMNH to see Sam to get his professional opinion and whether I just need to replace the brake pads, but when we took a quick look at the brakes there was plenty of pad left on, and the main cause seems to be the positioning of the disc and pad and how it was just grabbing onto the only top of the rotor.
After that Sam looked at the rest of the bike and the chainring, cog, BB and Piece Of Shit Half link chain was in really bad nick, so these definitely needed to before the Rapha cyclo-cross event. Then Sam said he had a pair of TRP hylex lying around from a previous customer and needed to shift these with rotors, and would give me a good price, and if you know me and my 'beater' ethics I couldn't say no, so I said 'DO IT!!!'
