Brake pad thickness (Read 89 times)

verslagen1 YaBB Moderator ModSquad Offline Where there's a will, I want to be in it. Posts: 28760 L.A. California Gender:	Brake pad thickness 07/28/16 at 09:54:03 I got some cheap pads that are too thick. I found 1 post that says it should be 7mm thick. Mine measure 8.5mm. Does anybody have a measurement for new pad thickness to confirm?

Have a belt sander or a Milling machine?

I'll have to check the piston to see if it's stuck.

I just looked at the reviews on the pads I purchased and there is nothing negative reported. Kenny G

Hey, what're your plans for a new disc? And how many miles are showing currently? I've seen EBC rotors supposedly for our bikes bt never investigated whether they truly have the correct mounting points.
