    Then they were both wrong. More specifically, the wear sensor should be on the inside pad, at the leading edge (bottom).

    If you wear out your outside pads completely with no indicator on them, you get a hot rotor and ****ty braking but isn't likely to destroy anything. If you wear out your inside pad with no indicator to tell you that is happening, you can damage the piston much more easily, possibly causing you to dump all your fluid and lose all braking, or seize up and lose control etc.

    So you want to know when your inside pad is getting low a lot sooner.

    Er, I have no idea why I said (bottom). It's top for us. Leading edge is top for a front facing caliper.
