Pretty sad…..anybody else have this problem with their M8’s ?

Generally using Lyndall Gold.

Might be sticking pistons,,,, I would remove caliper,, remove pads,,,,give a good clean with soapy water using old tooth brush ,,, then brake cleaner....

When thats done,,, install old pads back in caliper,,,, put something between pads (narrower than rotor),,,,pump brake up,, (ie extend pistons),,,, clean pistons with brake cleaner with tooth brush ,,,,, pry pistons back using the old pads as leverage ,,,,, Install new brake pads of your choice ,,,,, Install caliper ,,,, pump up brake so all good,,,,,,check after rides to see that pads are not wearing on one side as in your picture .....

If that doesn't fix the problem,, your bikes fucked... Give me a ring and I'll give you a reasonable price for the bike....

Good Luck.

 

I went genuine again, see how I go.

When I pushed the pistons back in I did it with my fingers. Didn’t need a clamp of any description to do it. That in itself makes me think I don’t have a shitty brake piston.

I will just have to wait and see how the new set wears and take it from there I guess.

Thanks for the reply.
