No pics yet. You actually can brake with no brake pads, if you aren't picky about whether you will need to replace a rotor afterwards. The bike will stop. Rider is fine. Those Magura hydraulic brakes were going to be replaced anyway. I love the way they stop the bike (when they have brake pads) but I do not love the fact that few mechanics know how to work on them.
