Can't find info anywhere, just wondering if someone has a set of new pads and can measure overall thickness for me?
I inherited a set of Motor Tech CML174 pads with bike and when I try to fit them they are way tight, bind on disc terrible and don't free off
The pads coming out are worn at an angle to may be piston needs a clean and new seals to get it working better. The original (I think actual original) pads have a wear line very close to backing plate, the Mototech ones have a wear line nowhere near as near backing. I'm sure must be right ones as same shape etc, but as I didn't buy I wouldn't know if for a different bike with 'similar' brake.
I'll get the seals ordered to pop piston out and clean (looks pretty bobby dazzler though from what I can see). All other dust seals fine and lubed.
The pads just seem a couple of mm too thick?
worth an ask - thanks in advance
Sticking old ones back in brake works fine...but off to France in couple of weeks so need to change.
