Don't get me wrong, the brakes aren't super bad or anything, they still certainly stop the bike in a hurry if needed and I give it enough of a fistful. But what worried me was the few pots that just weren't moving particularly smoothly and I couldn't rotate by hand. Also, they're squealing again now, I only cleaned them down a fortnight ago and then again a month before that. Something is surely amiss?
FWIW Just to point out the obvious, the pads still have 2-3mm of usable material left and nice deep wear grooves. Discs seem fine too.
