I started tracking bike maintenance a couple of years ago, and am trying to be pretty systematic about it. According to my records, I put the prior set of brake pads on Frodo on December 21. Between then and now, I rode a total of 166 miles.
For comparison, the prior 3 sets of brake pad changes occurred with elapsed mileages of 703, 599, and 646 miles.
When I was in Seattle, I bought a couple sets of KoolStop brake pads to try out, although I couldn't remember the specific differences between the different colors when shopping, so I wound up getting 2 sets of the salmon and 2 sets of the black. I can already tell you that they feel NICE.
We'll see how long they last.
