Maybe one for a PSA or general discussion about checking disc brakes, rather than a dive into the case specifically as there are a few too many uncertainties, but the complete failure of a set of Magene road brakes and the resultant hospitalisation of the rider is doing the rounds in discussion videos etc. Here’s one such discussion video
Points raised/topics for discussion:
- use of correct pad compound for chosen rotors.
- Regular checks of calliper for excessive pad wear, uneven piston actuation, etc.
- Trust, or otherwise in new and non-market tested products from brands without a history/track record in the specific sector.
