As per title really.
Got a set of Momo mini's and am aware I might be wearing the pads down, but have no idea at what thickness left of the pad you should start to think about changing them.
Advice please peeps!
cheers

If they're the black/gold ones, you'll find the spring clip between the pads will get caught on the disc and mangled just before the pads need changing, not sure it was designed that way, but it happens.Otherwise, it's a good idea to change if there's less than 1mm of material rather than risk rotor damage by ekeing out every last bit.

ok.....
I think Im getting close to 1mm, so will take a good look and pop into lbs next time I'm in town.
Would prefer to change before damaging rotors!
cheers

Like Coatsey said, just before the springs get mangled!
