For this morning's project, I replaced the pads on our Winzip (disc) brake.

We went through the stock pads in less than 500 miles (going down the hills of Tuscany), and ended up having to replace the disc because the metal under the pads scraped it...an expensive mistake, that I would not have made, if I hadn't been expecting 2000 miles out of the pads.

Our second set of pads (Shimano resin something, or other) made it almost 1000 miles...most of the riding on this set was "rolling".

I went with EBC Gold pads for the third set. If I can get the stoker out of the house, I'll give a report on them. A big thank you to BloomingCyclist for the pad recommendation.

And a big thank you to TandemGeek for the installation instructions. (These are actually pretty easy to install, if anyone else had been putting it off).
