@packie, my rear caliper's absolutely fine, but i had major juddering problems on the front for ages that totally baffled me so i had a tendency to use the rear way more than i should of.
Combine my weight and the bike's, and sintered pads dragging on the discs trying to stop and you end up with a quickly worn disc.
It's no big surprise at all, and there's no hidden problems that i don't know about.
It's still working fine now, but it won't be long before i'll be looking for a new one, and i'll be using softer pads next time.
The juddering at the front turned out to be a faulty braided brake line.
