Yeah so after a 5 hour rainy gravel ride 2 weekends ago my brakes on the gravel bike were sounding pretty knarly. I knew they were overdue to be changed but I am the king of procrastination and I was so busy the days after the ride I didn’t check again
Now it’s this past Friday night before a 75 mile gravel ride Sunday and I finally get time to take apart the brake pads and they are Fuct.
Sent some text messages to my riding crew and somehow by luck the shop not only had one set of pads but they had 2. One of the guys lives around the corner from Htown shop so he was able to grab them for me Saturday before they closed.
Nothing like changing brake pads the night before a ride but I was able to get it done with only a little help from YouTube (first time changing these pads myself )
Guess I shouldn’t wait 3900 miles next time before I change them.
