Just concerned when my front break started squeaking and I found a patch of rust over a third of the disk, or maybe it is some scrapping from the break pads...same light brown color...any idea?
Thanks

If what you're describing is what I think it is, I occasionally get that on my disks after I've been for a run in the wet. I'm not sure but I think it might be a bit of light surface rust caused by moisture trapped between the pads and the disk - though it could equally be detritus from the pads themselves. I find it's easily removed with a cloth. Also, it'll disappear pretty quickly when you next apply the brakes.

On the other hand though, it could be worth checking your pads for wear, as evidenced by the depth (or lack) of grooves in the brake pads, and scoring on the disk.

Good luck.

Thanks man! I'll check the pads but there are fairly new, maybe 5 k at the most...as far as rain, it hasn't rain here in weeks and whenever it happens, Bonnie stays home ;-) Lucky we!
