I can never figure out pad wear between individuals - so many variables. Mine have done at least 3k miles and still going strong. That's included several very wet century rides with a lot of very steep descending. I don't brake very much on my local loops, although there are plenty of short steep descents. I'm a 75 kg rider, so pretty average.
