I was wondering how long does everyone brakes last. I also want to know how long they last front vs rear. It would also be helpful to know what kind of bike and if it single or dual brakes,type of riding, and any other information that would impact wear.

 

40,000 on the bike, and on the 2nd set of brakes. I believe I changed them at around 28,000 miles. I really only needed the front brake changed but I wanted to change both front and rear to the Lyndall Z+ brake pads at the same time. The Lyndall pads work great, dry or wet conditions, and give off very little brake pad dust.

Single front brake and I ride solo about 85% of the time.

 

It all depends on how you ride. Sort of like how long does a rear tire last. I tend to use my front more than my rear, made out of some copper color material, helps to decrease brake squeal and I would say 18-20k front and 25k rear with single floating rotors. Sort of like a car 60/40 front/rear

 

I put Lyndall Z on almost 2 yrs ago and they still look new .

 

Speaking of Lyndall pads,

I have two sets of Lyndall gold+ front pads still sealed in packages that I won't be using because I switched to Brembo's.

$50 + shipping or $110 for both including shipping

My 94 soft tail has about 9k miles on rear pads stock HD going to lyndall next ,i had them on my 03 E Glide rear over 20k miles on them & still look great when I sold the bike , my 94 stock had pads look like there about shot after about 9k miles ,I use front brake alot along with the rear

 

My rear lasted about 24K and my fronts were ditched at 25K when I upgraded the calipers and were over half way worn.

 

Rear = 2 tires or about 16K max.. Front can go a little longer, maybe 20K.. I ride fairly aggressive and use the rear brake more than the front... I like OEM pads, a little more dust but never any noise, Id rather it that way...

I can't believe no one has said this yet but brakes last until they wear out!!!
The length can vary due to how aggressively or not you use them.

 

Of course but it would be nice to know how many miles people are getting out of them.
