When should you replace your brake pads? Dymoece advises that the brake material should not be thinner than 0.9 mm, but it's better to replace them sooner. In my opinion, it's best to replace them when they are no thinner than a penny piece. If the brake pad spring touches the rotor, it means the pads are far too thin and should have been replaced earlier.

How should you choose bicycle disc brake pads? In my opinion, metallic pads are suitable if you have a heavy bike, ride downhill, or encounter wet and muddy conditions. For those using Avid Elixir brakes, organic resin pads are recommended for maximum initial bite, a short break-in period, excellent power modulation, low disk wear, and a comfortable braking feel. They also provide smooth braking, predictable and progressive power, less noise than sintered metal pads, and better modulation.
