lucky i wasn't tramping on when i lost it! amazing how long the brain takes to react to 'lever comes back to bars'
after 3 pumps it was on with the back anchor.

you're not having a lot of luck are you? :eek
Re: F..........F...............F...................F.............. - sadlonelygit - 16-05-12
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!

Same colour as the stuff that came out your arse no dought. :eek :lol
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.

Do you know what make the pads were?
Had 3 or 4 examples of the pad material delaminating up the shop lately....

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.
Re: F..........F...............F...................F.............. - The Male Whale - 27-05-12
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....

The one in the pic above looks like its been on the sea bed for the twenty years!!!! Tell me you put a new set in now and you cleaned the calipers up at the same time!
