I used to ride my bike formula 1 style, flying into red lights and intersections at 20-30mph then slamming on the brakes about 70-80 times a day, shifting 3-400 times a day on my ultegra sti levers. I don't do that anymore but when I did with my old mtb, I was going through pads once every 2 months or so. My disc pads last like 6 months that way.
