Original Brake Pads!

Post by Uncle Bob » Tue Apr 09, 2013 6:58 pm

Just doing a spring tidy up on the Kat which includes some nice new Goodridge brake lines, so thought I would take the rear caliper off to give it a clean for the first time since ownership 4 years ago.

I bet this won't happen to me again, but the bike is still on it's original Tokico brake pads, so I guess the 20000km (about 13000m) is correct then! They are low(ish) though so being replaced. Caliper has cleaned up well.
