Thanks Two Lane.

I was a pretty hard core skier for a long time (.As group, out on a western ski slope somewhere in the Rockies we would look at some ugly, gnarly, nasty looking black or double black diamond run. Someone would inevitable be the first one to head down it, and then we'd all look at each other, shrug our shoulders, and say "Follow Stupid!'. So Follow-the-Leader became Follow-Stupid! It was mostly appropriate too.

Today, I have osteoarthritis in my right knee so bad that if I don't wear my knee brace, my knee will randomly kick out and I will go crashing to the floor. Kinda scary feeling nervous that the next step you take could send you down. There''s still enough cartilage left they don't want to do knee replacement yet. So my skiing days are on hold, if not over.

 

Today being Sunday is my first day off in a while so 

over due work has to be done , full service and swap out discs and pads on the work van 

150kms and back discs are shot !

i already had to do the fronts at 100kms 

they must be really soft cast iron 🙄

Weak piston?  Wear on the pad is off balance.  Wore out on one end and almost new on the other.  Assuming it's a duel piston caliper.  Rotor looks good as we appear to be lookin at the backside which usually gets torn up from the piston pressure.  All about finding the time to get er done.

Ah, they are just single piston calipers JustA, and the wear is even over both sides of both discs, JustA that they are now worn past the point of milling safely, so are a throw away item!

the van weighs in at 2737kgs all up which i think will have a lot to do with wear 🤨

 plus with me towing a trailer full of building materials to the the beach house for the last couple of years probably doesnt help! haha
