Need Help On Possible Problem
Hey,
I just bought the Folia Tech Brake Caliper today and was looking at my caliper to see if I could do the job without taking the wheel off and noticed that the part under the brake caliper (not a real technical guy so I dont know exactly what part it was) im assuming that it was the brake pad. It is black but I saw that part of it was peeling off. I rub my finger against it and more comes over....underneath the black is a steal or something silver color.
So its the part the brake caliper covers and i checked all other sides and the part is black but on this one side....its peeling off to a silver color. Is this a problem....you know what it may be?
I took pics of it but cant find the part that connects the camera to the computer so I will look for it tomorrow and post pics then but if you have an idea what it may be...please let me know
Thanks

Re: Need Help On Possible Problem (USMUSCL)
Well it's the middle of the night and I don't have your pic in front of me but what you MIGHT be seeing is a metal clip that holds the pads in place. If that is discoloring, no problemo.
Get us a pic and it will be easier to tell what you are concerned about.
