Four Ways to Judge Whether Brake Pads Should be Replaced

a) Look

    Most Disc Brake Pads, through the naked eye can observe the thickness of the brake pad. When a third of the original thickness is found, the thickness should be observed frequently. When parallel with the logo, it should be replaced immediately.

b) Listen

    Listen to the sound can also judge whether the brake pad has been worn thin, if you just step on the pedal to hear a sharp and harsh "byi Byi" sound, indicating that the thickness of the brake pad has been worn to lower than the logo on both sides, leading to the logo on both sides of the direct friction brake disc. But if it is the brake pedal to the second half of the abnormal sound, it is likely to be brake pad or brake disc work or installation caused by the problem, need to check in the store.

c) Step

    When stepping on the brake, it is difficult, but also that the brake pad has lost the friction, this time must be replaced, otherwise there will be life danger.


d) Test

    Of course, it can also be judged by braking examples. Generally, the braking distance of 100 km/h is about 40 meters. The more the distance exceeds, the worse the braking effect is. Swerving on the brakes we've talked about this before and I won't repeat it.
