When i replaced the rear disc it was thinner than the minimum thickness - but I think that it has lasted okay.

|---|---|---|---|
| Aprilia | 38680km | The disc was below min thickness and since I had the wheel powder coated I could just as well replace the disc. | |

They don't last long - at least not when I'm riding. My favroite pads are still the ones from Lucas.
| Pad | Mileage | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Aprilia | 4789km | Worn down to the metal and a bit beyond ... |
| Ferodo | 1142km | Changed in workshop even though, there were less than half worn |
| Ferodo | 2249km | The Ferodo pads does not last long if you drive a bit a hard and use the rear brake to much ... |
| Lucas | 6643km | That's my record for a set of pads. |
| Lucas | 3268km | Changed at 18000km service. They could have lasted ~1-1500 km longer but I decided to change them anyway to try SBS |
| SBS | 3878km | They rear pads were not worn equally. The "outer" was worn down to the metal but the the "inner" had still more than half its original thickness. |
| Lucas | 5620km | They rear pads were again not worn equally but at least the lasted more than 5000km. This time it was the "inner" that was down to the metal. The disc is also very worn, so I'll better soon measure how much is left of it ... |
| Braking | 3563km | They rear pads were again not worn equally, but also not as bad as the last times. The difference was within 0,25 and there was ~1mm left. But it is clear that the rear disc is worn a bit. It is thinner near the center than by the edge. It is so evident that it is difficult to remove tha caliper, since the pads has to be pressed back to get the caliper off. Since it isn't easy to see how much there is left without taking the caliper off I changed them anyway |
| Lucas | 4723km | Close to 1mm left. |
| Ferodo | 4230km | Still a bit left but I replaced it along with the brake disc |
