??... by "middle stripping" do you mean the pads? If so, the brakes must be over-tightened, adjusted improperly, Or the disc may be damaged. I have had the same set of pads for two years. and i run it pretty hard.

the screws holding the shoes and pads to the transmission should be tightened so there is minimal slop between them and the disc.(but causing no drag) Then all of your adjustments need to be made by the brake adjustment knob, and throttle linkage.
