Haha yeah, I usually use the depth gage on my calipers to measure the width of the fork or seat stay at the brake bridge (A), then measure the width of the rim (B). The distance to set my marker tip from the seat stay edge would be (A-B)/2-.01", then I move in from there.

Anyway I've been reading on it and it turns out the old avid brake pads burn out real quick, the newer metallic formulations are supposed to last a lot longer.
