If you’ve been riding in

If you’ve been riding in Sydney the last month, you were lucky to get 60k’s out of them. Wet conditions just kill pads.

Make sure you get sintered pads when you renew, you lose a bit of stopping power but wear is better.

Try 12km

The 24 hour at Del Rio - I was doing a set every 12km or so. Front and rear.

Lucky that track was on private land, and was specially built for the event. Even so, they closed it down overnight which was a blessing!
