Opinion on brake pad wear
10/07/23 at 12:40:42
 
I don't see the indicator groove but it looks like there's plenty of material left on theses pads. I don't want to risk my rotor, so what do you think?

It's weird, they have almost 4K miles, which is a lot considering how much pad I still see . I did change the way I brake when I replaced the rotor. I use the rear a lot more now.

Those don't look bad.  I'd guess 1/2 the pad remains.

Yeah, that's what seems weird! Thanks for the extra eyes.

Maybe an optical illusion but one looks thinner than the other. Make sure you grease the pins

I thought one pad always wears faster than the other on these bikes? It was something I read where it was recommended to swap them after some wear. I could be misremembering, though.
