how do they look now ?

how do they look now ?

I think I can see it is starting to contact the disc more, there is slight sanded look of the outer edges of the bit it wasn't previously contacting, so here's hoping. Other side of disc looks fine, pad was full contact.

Sounds like the calipers weren't cleaned properly and/or the outer pad was on the piss

Remove, reclean and refit. Although if the pad is worn unevenly, then you need to replace it

I've had pads that are too tight out the box and need a light file to knock the burs or paint off
something is clearly wrong and needs addressing for the un-even pad wear/contact

[grifter]

Pads are not sticking in holder, I've checked twice, they are a nice fit with no sticky bits.

As I said previously, it's not unusual for partial surface contact on the disc initially when new pads are fitted, even if the sliding pins are free, the pads are a nice snug fit without being tight, and you are certain the caliper carrier contact points to the hub knuckle are clean and not contaminated. I wouldn't worry about it if you are happy all is well with the fitment - the pad will very soon, if not already, sweep the whole disc face which should then be self evident through the rim.
