Brake pad specs
« on: November 14, 2015, 09:38:46 am »
Hi
Does anyone know the official size / thickness of  new brake pads to use as a comparison to the used ones on my bike ? The riders manual says  replace pads once you have run out of thread on the adjustment wheel  but i am after  the actual pad thickness to show they are within normal range . I just don't know what  is the actual range  they should be in ?  They do  work fine  and pull the  beast up  relatively  well , its never really going that  fast anyway !
any  ideas
Ric

No idea I'm afraid...
I have seen them for sale on eBay though.

Difficult to say, since the bike hasn't got any to start with....I need some rear brake  shoes though.

There's a pair of shoes here, which will give you an idea of the original lining thickness.
Also linings for sale here.
I'd be careful; probably asbestos at that age.
