Hey Guys,
Here's a weird one. Cleaning my chain today and I noticed my rear brake pad slid out of the grooves in the front of the brake caliper bracket. See photos.
I didn't think it could be like this since I changed the rear brake piston cylinder seals over a year ago, but looking at the irregular wear on the pads, it may have been... Unless it somehow rattled out? I've got the rear caliper mounting bolt torqued at the 16ft. lb spec and the sliding pin towards the rear torqued at 20 ft. lbs.
There's some grooves scraped into my rim where the pad was dangling, could this affect balance of the wheel to any measurable amount? The rear pad now slightly rubs in a rhythmic fashion, do you think I could ride them to the end of their life (which looks to be pretty soon)?
Thank you,
