Brake Disc/Pad Wear

[wall.j]

Hey guys,

I got back from a fairly big ride last weekend (80 miles), and noticed that the inside of one of my front discs still had areas in its circumference that still had a little rust on them, I would say around 50% - making me thing that there had been no contact from the pad in these areas. Any ideas what could be the cause? I haven't taken the pads out to inspect, but they look like they have a lot of wear left...

Stuck piston - sounds like its time for a brake service. Strip down em down, fit new seals and clean off / replace corroded pistons.

[MacV2]

Yep sounds like you have a stuck piston.

Bring it to me I have all the tools to strip the callipers down & refurb...PM me if you want to come over.

All you need is the fuel to get here, an hour or so to do the work, a bottle of fresh brake fluid new seals & pistons if you want to go the whole hog & of course biscuits...

[wall.j]

Ah Mac, that'd be great! Think I'm due a visit anyhow, the cupboard is bursting with biscuits.

I'll send you a PM.

Cor I shall never forget the first time I stripped my callipers down. The fluid had caramelised into thick gooey toffee.

If a piston or two has seized that much you'll not recognise the brakes once they've been fully serviced
