Better brake life
I am frequently having to adjust my brakes because of brake pad wear.
I do not have to do major braking. Are there other brake pads that wear longer that do not cost big bucks? Thanks, Andy |

Sorry, but you gave me nothing useful. Then again, neither did you. You didn’t say what type of brakes you have, what type of brake pads you use now, or how long they last. For a person with an e-mail address of “scientist77107”, you’re awfully stingy with data. It would be like me going to my doctor and saying “Something hurts .... sometimes”. |

Where as I get 1,000 ish, sometimes more sometimes less, depends on weather, as my route has gritty gravel sections which when wet just chew up pads (disk) did also if not more so with rim brakes, though granted dry months you can get high miles with rim brakes.
