Hi all

Just wondering if you could help me, I was washing my bike yesterday and discovered a bit had come off what looks like my rear wheel hub! Pic's attached - is this dangerous and in urgent need of attention or is it just a coating I can ignore for a while longer yet!

Thumbs Up

As above and yes, it looks like you could do with new pads.

Weird, but any idea what kind of covering it could be - an alloy coating of some kind or something!?

The bit that has fallen off doesn't look like it should be supporting anything, just looks like a plate/cover... So keep what it was covering tidy and I wreckon you will be ok Thumbs Up
