After I took them out in the paddock, the pad material literally broke loose of the back plate. Yes, the pad disintegrated in my hands (there was plenty of compound left--around 6mm I'd say). I will call them and complain. I don't want to even think about what would have happened if the pad had fallen apart like that at the bus stop at 150mph...
Wow, I wonder you got one of those known series with the back plate bounding problems. They should recall all of those pads. This is a really serious issue.
I hope the Carbotech XP-10 will hold up better.
