mikehogginer on March 6, 2026 6:39 pm Sintered pads are just metal, this is fine for another season. 🙄
TurboBunny116 on March 6, 2026 6:44 pm Raise your hand if you know a person who does zero maintenance on their bike, only to wonder “why…” whenever something like this is discovered.
Loa_Sandal on March 6, 2026 6:52 pm You’re supposed to brake by pushing on the side of the rotor, not on the edge of it.
PuzzledActuator1 on March 6, 2026 7:05 pm To be honest half the time you can’t tell with Maguras, they just squeal no matter how much time you spend setting them up.
AgZephyr on March 6, 2026 7:16 pm Ah, that’s fine – I actually wore a hole through the middle of a brake pad once.
OD32 on March 6, 2026 7:17 pm Well on r/bikewrench ther was a guy a week or so ago that also went through the backplate and was melting his pistons on the rotor..

INFERNOthepro on March 6, 2026 7:34 pm Atleast you’re not one of those guys who buy the best gear available at the time only to ride it once or twice a year on some light gravel roads.
Latter-Gold2686 on March 6, 2026 7:41 pm Just a little noisy – I’ll keep riding and not worry about bike maintenance 😂😂😂

Someone eats your brakes

Paid for the whole pad, use the whole pad.
Consumable consumed lol 😆

Now need the pad and the rotor
Where’s the brake caliper?
Looks like Terrance and/or Phillip
It had a bit more life in it to be honest.
That second pic is NSFW, goddamn…
I know for a fact that people drive cars like this

$7000 on a bike. Zero on maintenance.
How else can one maximize their chances of sparks?
I thought this was your bike, in which case wtfw?
