Howdy gang,
My rear inner rear brake pad is toast after about 5000 miles. That pad wore such that the rear of the inner pad was probably down to the service limit though the front of that side and the left pad (which wore evenly) still had probably 50% left. I cleaned and lubed the pins; and cleaned the pistons and caliper in general when I replaced those pads. All bolts were torqued according to spec's. I read the .pdf file one lister posted (very informative) and nothing seemed to be amiss that I could tell.
Those 5000 miles included a couple thousand very sporting miles ridden along some of the curviest roads in Mexico including the Espinazo del Diablo (think of the Dragon but almost 200 miles long). My braking technique involves heavy braking with both brakes, release the back brake, and then trail the front brake until just before the apex.
Can the linked brakes cause the rear inner pad to wear unevenly with that braking style? Or is there something I probably missed in my service?
Thanks in advance.
