Does anyone else go through brake pads very quickly. I buy the ebc sv pads and they only last like 2 days of riding or 1 race i have tried about every brand there is. Any sugestions? I dont have the parking brake on either.

I know mine if I use the rear brake alot it will wear them out quick. We ride in old strip pits and old rail beds where coal mining was done and the soil and mud wears them quickly.

^ thats what im thinking, that its the mud because were i live thats all there is. Think a mud rotor would help?

I have a EBC severe duty rotor. I think there is not much you can do. The rotor helped but didn't eliminate the problem.

I put sintered pads on mine, it seemed to help and last a lot longer..
