Expensive day out
After just 25 mins of riding through mud and sand in a downpour yesterday. To be fair, the jockey wheels (pulleys) were gone anyhow, but it was the brakes and rest of the drive train that took a real pounding.
See one of these sets of pads is still all bright and shiny - they were around two weeks old. Both ends were down to the last 10th mm or something.
The chain didn't fair any better and managed to creep past the magic 1% wear mark at the same time. As there are several new chains and a new rear cluster the parts bin the existing set will get ridden into the ground before a full change comes.
