having no pad might cause a small issue with your braking efficiency...

At least your caliper stayed on. My front right came off on sunday and I've lost the pin and one of the metal clips, at least I found the pads. I also won a free big scuff around my rim. Should have triple checked the brakes. Fucking dangerous mistake to make. Evil or Very Mad Brick Wall

Did the securing rod fall out or have you taken it out?
