Pad/rotor coverage
I'm curious to get expert opinion on this. Should the rotor on my tektro hydraulic brake cover the pad 100% of the pads or is the 97% that it covers now sufficient. I have had no problems but my friend thinks it need to be covered 100%.

Dude, you asked exactly the same question on the Mechanics subforum, where you'll get better responses.
Not cool to start two threads on the same topic.

Read comments of others with a sugar coating and realize that you are just getting helpful advice to keep the conversations in a pertinent place.

In defense of the OP, the topic was safety related ... sort of. Welcome to Bike Forums, BOTR. I hope you stick around.
