I've seen something similar on mine with the rotors worn the right(wrong?)
way. Basically, the outer edge of the rotor is not wearing down with the
rest of the face. So, there can be a lot of pad left, but the outer edge of
the rotor starts eating into the outer edge of the pad and/or wire and

Isn't the fluid level in the master cylinder the same circuit as the brake
