Brake Pads

[Grumpy Goat]

I'm sort of surprised you are changing brake pads with the mileage you have on your bike. I think you are in the 30,000 mile range. ...

Yep, 31,150 miles or thereabouts. Last time I looked (when I had the front wheels off to change the tires at 26,000 miles) I believe they had between 1 - 2 mm on the front pads. The limit is 1 mm. I just wanted to have the pads on hand for when I decide to make the change, but I don't believe that the original pads will make it to 52k miles as yours have. I commute daily and that is likely the reason.

I also got a vacuum bleeder in preparation for a brake fluid change. That might happen before the pads are changed.

Speaking of mileage - the Dunlops have 5100 miles on them so far and are wearing quite nicely. Should be able to get 10k miles out of the rear and maybe more out of the front.
