Macie_UK 0 Posted September 17, 2012 Seen it happen on bike front pads too, after a lot less miles - and not on a budget brand either. On the plus side, the place isn't likely to claim 'wear and tear' rather than admit to a manufacturing defect, so take 'em back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
