Took the rear pads off tonight to look at them. Have been getting not so good performance out of them and was going to clean them and fix the toe. Was surprised to find that one of them was bulging out in the middle. I thought it was uneven wear at first but then I noticed that the middle of the pad appeared to be out of the metal holder... Image probably explains it better.
I tried removing the little screw holding the rubber in place with the metal but I couldn't slide the pad out of the metal guides. As this is my first bike in decades, I'm not sure if you replace just the rubber bit or the complete rubber/metal holder thing all in one. I guess I'll go visit a bike shop tomorrow and find out as I don't seem to be able to re-sit the rubber myself and don't want to continue using the brake like this.
These are ultegra pads. I guess I'll get the same ones.
