Re: Brake pads

Re: Brake pads
MOT min limit is 1mm same as our tyres.Richie848evo wrote:Or put it this way I've got 4mm left should I be thinking of putting new ones in just cos they are out of the bike at the mo?
However most manufactures recommend 2mm particularly if the pads are aged and/or crumbling at the edges

Re: Brake pads
Here you are Rich, I am just changing these out.
Probably could have run them a while longer, but I have a track day Monday so taking no chances.
