SRAM Guide pad replacements, accelerated wear on originals ?

[dobbyhasfriends]

Hi all, I have just checked my pads after owning my levo comp for a week, ive done less than 80 miles and the pads are worn to almost nothing..
is that normal? I dont brake any more than I did on my normal mtb, less if anything.

got any suggestions for decent replacements that last more than a week ?

Guide RE brakes it says on the lever.

thanks.

Replacement pads are for Code calipers.

I have some of these waiting to go on .. not tried them yet though

80 miles is not long though !!!! Keep in mind that they only come with relatively "thin" pads .. but you defo want to change before you get down to the "spring" - some people recommend 1mm - barely looks like theres much more than that when new

I would have a look at Uber Bike pads I use the race matrix ones on my EMTB and normal bikes all year round and am really happy with them. They regularly do discount codes and multi buy discounts. They last well but obviously that depends where and what conditions you ride in.
I notice they are going to do Ebike specific ones but I will probably stick with the race matrix.

I know that 1mm is less than 40 thousandths of an inch, but that is still a lot!. That is my brake pad re-order level!

He is the UK importer for Carbon Lorraine pads.
They get my vote for lever feel. Good progressive stopping power with out any fading.

cheers all, decent stopping power and lasting more than 4 rides is an improvement, ive ordered a variety to test !
