A word of advice: If your TBA has over 4500 miles on it your rear brake pads are probably gone! My rear wheel had started locking up under moderate braking so I pulled the rear caliper to check things out. Pads were gone with metal to metal scarring starting to show. This is with 5200 miles on the bike and I am not an aggressive rider. Front pads look fine and they take all the abuse! Ordered some pads from Brent and installed. I hope these last longer.

Had about 9000 when the fronts, although still very good, were replaced with a warped rotor. I replaced the backs just for grins to keep the time/mile same for the set (front/back). The ones that came off the back were fine, better than the fronts. Probably could have gone another 5k or more, but I replaced them anyway. Kind of weird, so many people getting such a varied number of miles from the stock brake pads.
