How many miles do you get on the front brake pads
01/14/17 at 03:21:38

I'm wondering how many miles you guys are getting on your front brake pads before they're worn out ? I bought this bike and it is supposed to have 4800 miles on it but the front disc pads are paper thin so I replace them . Another thing I found was the oil filter did not have an O-ring on it so I placed one that I had under the new Hi-Flow filter . Hmm I could go on with all the little things but I was wondering more about the brake pads.

The EBC Organic pads work really well.
