> You can generally expect to get 500-700 miles out of resin disc brake pads and 1,000-1,250 miles out of sintered metal disc brake pads. However, how much mileage you end up getting out of your disc brake pads will depend on the weather conditions you ride in, riding terrain, and your braking habits.
That seems a little low to me, but roughly in line with what I have seen. What is your experience?

He’s a seven time Grand Tour champion, is on the board of Factor bikes, has an army of professional mechanics to maintain his bikes for him - and he still runs into issues. So not just me.
