How did they feel? I noticed when mine got that bad, if anything the braking power was stronger.

To be honest i only took them off because it had started to bind (the rear brake) shitty design means the slideing pin seizes on cue every so many months, the material left on i think is basicly the binding material.. (also a nightmare to get the rubber parts back in together)

(the one on the left is spot on the wear limmit by the way)

Felt totally fine, but something was draging..

Its called common sense Laughing

My front may need changing sooner rather than later as one is worn more than the others which will lead to the aforementione pic.

Not sure for bikes but for cars to pass the mot the brake pads need atleast 1.5mm of meat left on them.

Too right. After you're stood there with a scored disc in your hand and are told the price of a new one you start to take a bit more care in checking them.

You ain't seen worn though , somebody posted here recently G maybe about his brake pads that were paper thin,

worn brake pads are super for stoppies though , I used to be able to stoppie loads but with new ones I tend to come flying off.
