Title: Brake pads
Post by: Anonymous on March 30, 2004, 17:13
Just a curiosity question more than anything. I know the servicing should bring this kind of thing up, but in NORMAL driving conditions (and I don't mean ragging it everywhere. I mean just normal commuting, social and so on driving), how long, in miles, should or would you expect a set of standard brake pads to last?

Interested, as my pedal seems to have gone down just a TINY bit (nothing to worry about I would imagine cos I can still break my neck if I stamp on them!)

I was about to post a related question, but I will ask here instead... how much roughly would you expect to pay for a set of front stock pads?

Cheers for that Mark. Thought it should be OK as mine as still only 24K on it, so it may be weather related............not going to worry about it.

It's pretty easy to check the pads...just remove the wheel and you will see a peekhole in the caliper where you can see the pad surface...

I'd be surprised if they didn't last 100t miles of normal driving.
