Yeah, sorry. Should have put a bit more info in. I'm not a wheelie and stoppie stunt officianado, but I do ride pretty hard thru London traffic on a daily commute, year round.
My front disc still isn't warped as far as I can tell, back one is slightly ( disc lock incident ) but I hardly ever use that anyway.
I've found the original to be pretty good with EBC HH pads, but they do chew thru the metal. It's close to the 3.5mm minimum now.
The thing is, if you have a crash and the disc is below the thickness limit, they will use that against you if it goes to court. I once lost 30% of a claim because the outside edges of my dual compound tyres on an NC30 were below the limit, even though the center of the tread was fine ( spirited riding in the alps in France ) The bike cop claimed the tyre would deform sufficiently under braking to allow the contact patch and thus grip to be affected. ******** obviously, but the magistrate didn't see it that way.
Bikes done 30 odd thousand miles. I've ridden all sorts in over 25 years of biking. XTX has been the most fun to date. Love Distanzias and was in love with pro extreme rain on the front, but now no longer available.
Thanks for opinions and info so far.
