Default replacing pads on MY02

Doing as subject suggests, but a lip has formed on the outer edge of the disc due to oem pads being smaller than the disc??

Is it recomended to have this machined off before replacing the pads, or can I just let them bed in.

If I have them machined does anyone know the minimum depth of the disc before I should look at replacing it?

Thanks ,

Boultsy

22mm i think. When the discs are new they're 24 mm thick so you get 2 mm to wear down/machine. Not a lot!

Just change the pads and bad in the new ones, unless it's excessive, in which case new discs would be more appropriate....

Or take the corners off the new pads with a file (or angle grinder!) so they miss the lip, they'll bed in quicker that way. When they wear enough to reach the lip they'll bed in around that too.

Thumbs up

thanks for the reply's people.

took another look at the wkend and I say there's just over a mm of wear, so pads for now and then maybe get in on the next godspeed group buy.

like the idea of the angle rinder chelspeed, might give it a shot.

Min disc thickness is 22mm, which is 1mm wear on each side....

If you do start angle grinding pads, wear a dust mask.
