I don't believe they were adjusted correctly. On the side that showed
the least wear, the adjustor was backed all the way out.
How do you know if you have a bad piston?

Were your brakes adjusted correctly and everything moving freely? Usually
the wear pattern is caused by a bad piston or misadjusted brakes.
I make my adjustments w/the tire on but I have a gizmo that makes adjustment
a snap w/the wheels on.
