I knew somethine was up with my front brakes, but was surprised to find the pads down to the metal. These are sintered metal pads that I got from Newbonneville. They were put on shortly after I got the bike, so maybe 9,000 miles. I ride the bike around town a lot, so there is a bit of stop & go. I do try to use compression braking whenever I can. Fortunately, I saved the original stock pads, so I put them on. But I'm wondering is 9,000 miles average life time for sintered metal brakes ?
Thanks, Steve
