Cleaned my rear brakes up last weekend as they'd been squealing like a stuck pig after long journeys.
They were quite cruddy, but didn't seem to bad once cleaned up. Even wear on the n/s rear, with 3-4mm left. However, on the o/s rear the pad on the piston side had a lovely imprint of the piston on the back, and had about 5-6mm of material on, whilst the other pad was down to 1-2mm.
Despite cleaning everything up as much as it could, checking the slide pins, I'm sure they're probably still not quite right because of that piston imprint.
Quandry is whether to change them before doing Oulton Park on the 29th, or just leave it until after the day. It's 36k mile service is due in Feb anyway so they'll be changed then at least.
