lucky

so i think i am riding my bike to meet tim in vegas. thought i should change the oil
before I went. mentioned a rubbing sound on the rear wheel. they check it out. the verdict: rear brakes almost nonexistant. so, getting that done, too.

here's photo's of the old brake pads


side view



yeah, there should be about a quarter inch of pad there. nope, just touches left in a few spots

Dang, those don't last long.

Maybe if you weren't running into people on the 168, the brakes would last longer.

i think it may be a combo of being a new rider, and also learning to balance the front/back brake ratio + engine braking.
