1500 miles on the bike and starting on the 3rd set of brake pads (front and rear).
My normal ride is a 12 mile deal. From home I ride to a local mountain bike trail (which is 7 mile trail in and out), and then back home. That means 7 out of every 12 miles is on the trail (with lots of steep hills to climb and descend).
I often do this ride twice or three times a day (it is only 2.5 miles from my house).
Anyone else seeing this much brake pad wear riding mountain bike routes?
Probably normal, but curious about other experiences.
