Subject: Minimum Brake Pad Thickness
Posted: 02 Mar 2014 at 12:01pm
Update - Just been out and had the front wheels off, to have a look at the pads (90% worn supposedly).
The pads are by my estimate about 6mm on the outer pad and 5mm on the inner pad, they may even be more, but they are definitely 1 or 2 mm thicker than the backing plate that the friction material is attached to.
I will not be changing for a while, but will keep an eye on them. I expect to get at least another 6 months (6000 miles) out of them.
