Post by: sadlonelygit on 16 May 2012, 06:49:32 pm: put the brakes back on today.....as well as new steering head bearings, definately a full set of pads in there when i set off and used the brakes until i was going to turn into my road and then............ :eek

you can see that the pad has corroded behind the friction material, lifting it off the backing plate leaving just a small contact area between the friction material and the backing plate.......just a matter of when it let go!

Mind you there doesn't seem to be a lot of meat left on them anyway.

You were very fortunate not to pile into something. Three pumps at 30mph has got to be at least 20 mts.

Had 3 or 4 examples of the pad material delaminating up the shop lately....

Post by: pitternator on 17 May 2012, 07:37:54 am: I have never seen that amount of corrosion on any brake pads I have used...FFS has it been used underwater ! :eek

In 75000 miles of fazer riding , never had any issues with brake pads delaminating......or getting rusty ...thats OE plus several other makes.

Post by: The Male Whale on 27 May 2012, 09:10:04 am: Spooky - just had ANOTHER example of a pad losing its friction material.....

This one was on a DSA examiners bike so not being heavily used.

That's 4 in around 6 months - all the same manufacturer and (I think) rears. For certain, 2 of them are!

Have written to the makers to see what the got to say.

PS The one pictured above doesn't look like a delaminate by the way....
