I don think I get that much from pads, but my discs lasted a long time, im on Alcon discs.

Alcon 365 discs are about 550 inc vat to buy.

Cheers, with that data, should have the rest of the two half sets I have then another set. I don't think my fronts will last another set, they have a good few heat cracks, APs. I'll get you to have a look at Donny to see where you think they are in terms of life left.

More often than not the inside pad and inside disc go first.

What's best, J-hook or Curly Grooves? I can't find any images of Curly Grooves so I have no idea what they look like, anyone got any pics?

So you are asking if you should go straight or bent?

Wrong place to ask mate

I dunno, from some of the posts I've seen on here it seems like the right place

Simon sorted part prices out:

£240 for RS29 Yellows Delivered
£240 per disc for 8 groove pattern
£345 per disc for J hook

Good prices. What do you guys reckon on my discs then, worth keeping them for a while yet?

[shimmy]

I'd say they are at their life's end or very near it.

If you are due another set of new pads, get the discs done now would be my advice as a cracked disc on tracks an be a bit of a risk.

try knocking that shit out of your grooves with a screwdriver - then you can see how much depth you have left


32mm discs can be used till they are wafffer thin ,( ideally replace after 1mm wear!) but then they will crack first.

Yours look fairly well worn IMO


don't forget new bolt set to fit to the bells too

just be careful when tweaking the nips....
