Just in time

[Art]

MOT yesterday, got an advisory - 'front pads close to minimum limit [3.2.Alf(i)]

I was going to leave them until the 30,000 service. Thought better of it and pulled them to have a look today, just as well I had a spare set sitting in storage.

Justin in time :w00t:

I remember Adz the mechanic on here serviced a bike that had worn through the pads and was stopping with the pistons . . . :w00t:

He posted some pics of it - pistons were starting to wear down and they had cut a groove into the disc.

Astonishing that anyone would be mechanicaly clueless enough to let that happen :crazy:

or deaf enough to not hear the screeching

the left one dont look evenly worn, you may want to scrub down the pistons a bit while you’re at it.

i usually leave mines to that stage too. make full use of them i’ll say

Could be worse , had a customer brought in a Manta GTE who had fitted new pads himself but the brakes felt funny and were noisy . Took off the wheel , removed calipers , had to look twice , then called over Stevie … who then ran next door to get John , who brought Stuart , and we all stood and looked at someone who could put pads in the wrong way round … all of them , both sides ,friction to pistons , backing plate to discs .
