 |
|
This weekend I replaced my brake linings for the 2nd time.
The 1st set lasted 170 hours, the 2nd went about 270.
With even more self-discipline I would think I could get
over 300, but I wouldn't expect that on your first set,
for sure. I also just ordered my replacement spares for
the next time around, and decided to add to my original
write-up on brake replacement.

Towards the bottom of the page you can find more info I
compiled regarding spare brake parts, and an update about
Rapco replacement linings. (Basically the aren't making
them yet, and may never...or may take a long time if they
decide to) Anyway, there is more info there for you all
that may help some day.
I also re-balanced my tires and found that they had stayed
about the same as when I previously balanced them. I just
adjusted them very slightly. The new tires are wearing
pretty well. At 115 hours or so on these retreads, one tire
looks really good. The other has a flat spot that is
pilot induced, and is wearing a little heavier on the
outside as before. Still a long way from flipping them
though, so I'm guessing 300hrs per pair might be about
right.
