I've been meaning to ask this. I changed my pads @ 40k. I replaced them with the Axxis Deluxe Plus. Ever since then I have these perfect black rings on my rotors. Does this mean that the contact is uneven or something?

FYI I just slapped the pads on. I didn't do anything with the rotors when I changed pads. The shims are all back and in the right place. I have 46k now and my brakes are fine. I just want to see what the problem is so I don't have problems later down the road. thanks.

 

You should have bed-in the pads. Sounds like uneven wear.

 

i did that about 6k miles ago when I put them on. Is there anything else I can do? bed them in again or I shouldn't do so?

 

could it be brake dust collecting at the edge of the pad?

 

take a pic of it please. i think i have the same problem as you with my deluxe plus'

 

yeah where is it in relation to the pad? my guess is buildup of dust at the edge

 

i will get some pictures when I get home today!

 

bump with pix now
