Started right up after the long upstate NY winter. New rear tire (7000 miles on OEM). Waxed, soaked chain when the wheel was off (kero) then waxed it- dry lube.

Anyway- wondering what the minimum acceptable brake pad thickness is? (Hint: being American and ex. carpenter I think best in fractions of an inch!

I'm all excited to ride! Maybe tomorrow I'll take a spin.

On most brake pads, there is a groove down the center of the friction material. When that groove becomes flush with the surrounding pad, you should replace the pads. I'm thinking that occurs when there is about 1/16" of material left. That's what it looks like to me but I've never measured it.

Good luck,

+1 when the groove gets flush it's time to replace. I don't remember the measurement, sry.....
