Default RE: when should i replace break pads?

i replace mine when they wear right through...just keep adjusting them up till they do that.

i actually took my dual disc setup, and epoxied the two discs together and run two pads instead of three ...this way you go through less...

there is a "how to" somewhere on how to make new pads with gasket maker sheets also....pretty straight forward...and one sheet is pads for life!

cheers, and good luck

It totally depends on how hard you are on the brakes. If you are moderate to light on the brake trigger when you are hitting the brakes, they can last 5 gallons. For a speed demon and stop-on-a-dime kind of guy like I am, then you can expect to replace those pads like every 5-10 TANKS!
