Re: I think my brake was binding
 

Don't think that's much to do with binding, more the pins were stuck and only one pad is hitting the disc properly. The pad that's lost its material has gone rusty behind the friction material and that's what's caused it to delaminte. I've seen it happen on a few sliding calipers. If the pistons were sticky too then you'd have had binding, but that's more a result of sticky pins.

The front wheel wouldnt move Lozzo, the right hand caliper had to be "eased" off using a mallet, but they are both nice & smooth now, just waiting for my new pads to arrive.
