Hi
I Know this is like asking how long is a peice of string, but roughly how many miles/km are owners getting from their brake pads front and rear???
I set off from the UK to Thailand will cover approx 24000km do you think i should take a replacement set??

I probably would, it can be extremely variable, especially if you are doing a lot of off-tarmac stuff.

My original set of front pads still had plenty of life in them when I replaced the front end at ~29,000 miles. I've been through several sets of rear pads which have lasted anywhere from 2,000 to 15,000 miles.

I can these pads advice as well. I have the pads and the replacement disc of EBC. Works well. My rear brake disc lasted around 50000 km. You might consider the lasting of your brake discs as well.

+1!

I switched to organic brake pads after my Tenere's first winter when I saw the amount corrosion/pitting on the front discs.
At 111,000 miles still on original front discs (just) and second rear.
Probably worth taking at least one spare set of pads.
