Checking the front brake pads
The brake pads can be seen from the rear. The linings must be at least 1 mm (0.04 in) thick.
At their most worn point brake pad linings should not be thinner than 1 mm, otherwise they
could lead to brake failure. For your own safety don’t put off having your brake pads changed.
If the brake pads are replaced too late when the lining is partly or completely worn off, the
steel parts on the brake pads will grind against the brake disks. This significantly decreases
the braking effect and destroys the brake disks.
