Danny00135 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Howdy, I've recently bought a second hand Avid BB7 disk brake and since I haven't used a disk brake since I was about 8 I'd like to know what to look out for with brake pads wearing out can someone upload a picture of worn disk pads so I know when I should be changing mine? cheers Or is this a stupid question, with answers like "you'll feel when you need to change them" ?

Martin Reynolds Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 As long as the pads arn't on the backing, they'll work fine. They do tend to loose their effectiveness when they wear down very thin, but disk pads usually last years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 If I had the money I always just replaced the pads when I replaced the disk unless they hadn't been on for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
