[Bertie the Bullet]

Hi all, haven't been on for a while ,hope everyone is still enjoying their RE's... ok so took the front brakes apart to check the linings, they have about 1.5mm to 2mm of meat left on them, I have a couple questions, should I change them now ? if not how much mileage do you think is left in them (lucky if I will put 500 miles on them this year), and how thick are new ones ? Cheers in advance, Bertie

Always erring on the side of caution, I would get new ones while it's all apart anyway.. If there's not much difference, you'll have reserve for when it's necessary.


Just my 2p...

Hi Bertie,I have just measured a new set I have for my electra x. The lining thickness is 4mm. As for how long they will last is really dependent on your riding style. For what a pair of shoes cost I wouldn't take a chance with brakes and replace them

Thanks all, rang HC this morning, they confirmed their new ones have 3.4mm from new so im about half way through them, yes god idea to change them i think.
