Killed rear pads in 2 months
Permalink  
 


I fitted a set of Gold Fren K5-LX rear brake pads on my bike 2 months ago, ive done around 1500 miles since. They are now down to the metal again and need changing!

This cant be normal! Ive done nearly 3000 miles on the front pads and they were on the bike when i got it.

Ive just ordered some Gold Fren AD rear pads to give them a try, see if they last a bit longer!

What do you lot get out of your brake pads?

I have a feeling they'll be fine, i don't do much braking lol.]

Just **** myself when i end up on the wrong side of the road after a bend :D

I get 5k out of EBC organics. They seem to seperate from the backing alot aswell.. trying the EBC sintered pads now.. they do work better but I bet they wear out quicker.. 1500 miles for a set of pads is extreme.. you must be hammering your bike!

Haha yeh i do hammer my bike! It must be all the hard, late breaking!! The pads ive just used are sintered ones. Hopefully the next ones will last more than 1500 miles!! lol

The Gold Fren AD's ive oredered are sintered aswell but have a different compound.
