Brake parts
Just keeping a record:
I put a new set of brake pads on the front disc at 14460 miles. New rear rim pads at 15020.
The original front pads were Avids that came with the calipers, and they went on at 11940 miles, so I got 2520 miles out of them, and 11 months.
The replacements are cheap asian knockoffs I got on eBay for $6 instead of the $18 for genuine Avid pads. So far they work fine; they sound the same, they brake the same. We'll see if they last the same. They'll have pretty much identical conditions to put up with since they're going on close to the same time of year and will be in use over winter.
