I took mine off at 35K, and they had probably 2/3 of their life left. Oh well, I think they ended up where they deserved: in the trash

I know they're not that bad

And I actually wished they could have gone to Mike the Powdercoater as he was looking for some temporary pads, but I had already thrown them away by the time I saw his thread. Rusty hooked him up though, so no big deal.
Mike, kenchan and Rusty like this.
