How and When to Replace Brake Pads on a Mountain Bike
Briefly

"Many of us have seen some seriously scary examples of brake pad wear over the years. With so many different brake manufacturers out there and so many issues that could cause poor performance, it is often hard to decipher the problem."
"Excessive pad wear can damage rotors and cause...brake fade and even complete failure if too much air finds its way into the brake lines."
"The best way to avoid these issues is to simply swap out brake pads. This process is easy and much cheaper than a full bleed, new rotors, new pads, or worse."
"The best way to check for brake pad wear is a visual inspection...If you cannot tell with this method, you can always pull the pads out of the caliper for a closer inspection."
