welshwan Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 passed my MOT today after not being able to ride it (well on the main roads anyways ) for the past 3 or soo weeks. The chain needed tightening soo the guy pretty much did it for me and then just an advisory on the front disk pads so when i got home i ordered a pair, should i consider changing the disk at the same time? there seems to be plenty of life left in it ...? All in all VERY happy will be out on it Sunday ........feel like doing some greenlaning i think bloody chuffed to be honest
Moderator Airhead Posted January 11, 2013 Moderator Posted January 11, 2013 you dont need to change the disk every time you change the pads, have a good day greenlaning and dont fall off and bust anything
mike1949 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Well done Taff. The discs hopefully should last a lifetime. It's not like having to change a sprocket when replacing the chain. In all honesty, I would just replace the pads. Once again Paul beat me to it.
welshwan Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 ahh thanks! i'm sure someone told me you did once, but thanks for blowing that BS outa the water! and thanks for the speedy reply's gang ALSO just saved me a few bucks BONUS!
Moderator Cynic Posted January 11, 2013 Moderator Posted January 11, 2013 Discs do wear and certainly dont last a lifetime. Following main stealer specs their fkt after 1mm. In truth they last long past that. Maybe 3 or 4 setz of pads. Depends on you riding style.
wild foamy Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 depends on the pads you use aswell, the "racing" compound pads will eat into the disk faster than a normal road-going set of pads will
