Lights in last evening, the bulb warning was triggered because I had disconnected the foglights…..
Didn’t drive it in the dark because a) I couldn’t be bothered and b) I still had the wheels off as I had to fit a set of brake pads.
There was still a bit of life left in the old ones, I reckon I could have got away with that for at least another 2,000 miles!
I bought a set of these back in March:
For £56 they came with a set of Febi wear sensors. The red anti-squeal plates mean they are just too thick to fit inside the caliper, so I removed them to install.
After slowing from 30 to 0 twice, they felt really strong. I’ve done some light bedding in with some harder breaking, but feel so far is pretty good.
I wouldn’t normally scrimp on a set of pads as they are all about the same price. The Brembo pads that came off produce a LOT of dust.
I’ve read some stuff recently about Kinetix products and they generally get a good write up. Being ceramic, I hope they do actually produce less dust.
I might see what the lights are like in the dark this evening.
I couldn’t even be bothered to take a pic once I’d finished. So here’s one through the window.
I’m sitting in the garden and the gate is open but I can’t be bothered to get up and go and take a photo…
