Guy at the dealer showed me the old pads, they looked like there was a chunk taken out of both in the center where the wear indicator is. WTF? With new pads it’s the same thing - ring of rust in the middle, though brake works fine, and there is no chattering or pulsing. Is it a matter of time till it evens out? Do I need a new rotor? Should I stop worrying? Do you know or did the mechanic tell you if the rotors are within specs? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-did-you-do-buy-for-your-bike-today/261343)._
