Not sure of the exact limit. Probably just an advisory providing there is SOME pad material but don't quote me on that.

In any case, most (but not all) pads have a wear marker on them in the form of a groove down the middle of the pad material. If they're worn past the groove, they need replacing.

Yer cheers stinkwheel, but mine dont have the line down the centre, it can do stoppies and skid ect with no problem so i think its got good enough braking power but if the pads are low then id fail

Ah, found it.

Standard pads 1.5mm minimum.

Sintered pads 1.0mm minimum.

Well on most peds that ive worked on you dont need to! Just shop around then to find the pads cheaper, OR get aset of cheaper pads such as Armstrongs!
