This is what happens when one or more pistons on your 6 pots decide retreat is no longer an option. This is the less worn edge! Check you ccm's people

Quite a common problem with the carbon ceramics I believe ?
I'm sure you know, but for those that may not, Stradale owners often upgrade to these - https://www.hillengineering.co.uk/brake-related/caliper-pistons/bcp-360cs-f

So far all good. No cracks. Haven't weighed them though.

Great company. Very reliable. Me ltd.

BCS in Nottingham did strip and repaint. They would have rebuilt but I was looking into stainless all round so I told them not to.

Lifetime warranty on the paint for peeling etc.
