• Cheers, I just chucked in the new pads for them and recentered the caliper as it was way off to one side. But I will have a look at it again next week when he rides into work. Seriously the back rotor and pads look like new, other than being filthy that is.

  • Also, there's a possibility that the braking compound just fell off the backing plate and not uneven wear/lazy piston as I first thought.

  • I’ll have a proper look at work tomorrow, the disc wouldn’t even fit in between the pads with the way the caliper was mounted. I’ll give the pistons a good workout. Speaking to him last night it turns out he cleans the brakes weekly I spray the hubs(?) and chain bits with WD40, spin the wheel and drag the brake a couple of times and change through the gears on a Friday evening, ready for Monday morning! Fuck me!

  • Did/can happen on motorbike brake Pads and carbon Lorraine had a major issue. By major I mean I and at least 3 local friends had issues with pad material delamination due to corrosion on the metal back plate.
