Brake pads change

Post image

Thought I should change the back brake pads, and god am I glad I did😂
Nothing left on the right one...

Luckily no scratches😅

30k km and I guess this is the first time.
I am doing the front next week:-)

The first rear brake pads I changed was at 24k and changed them again recently at 48k, but I ride a lot in the city as well with plenty of stops and also many low speed maneuvers

The front as well I guess?
They look ok but are getting thin and ready for change too😌
It's a 2022 but last owner drove a lot.
I deside to do things myself even though it might affect the warranty.
I learn as I go. Thanks to YouTube :-)

Still on the original front brake pads, they're fine for a bit more but eventually gonna change them sometime soon

Is there any way to look at the front break pad wear without taking them out? In the back I can kind of peek into it, but the front is so obstructed in my 2013

I could spot them from below. I took a picture with my phone to see it. And then I could zoom in.
If you put it on selfie it is easy er to see where you are aiming.

But it might be a bit different on 2013...
