Superdelite - How many miles are you getting on brake pads?

[lloydt]

On my Superdelite, I just went through my first set of front brake pads (Magura 9, comfort) in about 1000 miles. I have about 30% remaining on the rear. The bike came equipped with organic pads. I just bought and replaced them with sintered pads.

Just curious about how many miles you are getting from your pads. I'm mostly on road (some off) with about about 500ft of elevation for every 10 miles or so (on average).

I have about 1100 miles with at least 50% left. Hardly any hills here though.

I ride a Vado 5 in a very hilly small town. My first set of OEM organic pads were done at 500 miles in the front. I replaced them with brand name sinthered pads but could not get them to quiet down. I ended up with Kool Stop 'semi mettalic' pads that are reasonably quite and are wearing well.

EDIT - I reviewed by new Kool Stop pads at 500 miles wear HERE . Well over 1,00 miles now, and counting. Over 3,800' of climbing (and descent) yesterday,

I have just received my SD. I have immediately replaced the 180 up front with a 203 and replaced the comfort pads with performance pads front and rear. Not done any miles yet on them.

I also swapped out my 180mm front rotor for 203 at ~500 miles. That's how I found the worn out front pads. Lucky me. I moved the 180mm rotor to the rear replacing the original 160. Made a noticable improvement.

I am on my third set of brake pads and will need to change again next week (another 800km or so). By my experience the brake pads need to be changed every 3.000-3.500km or so. I was a bit remiss with the last change though.
