Disc Brake Aligning Tool.

I'm new to discs. How long should I expect to get out of a set of pads ? Road miles rather than mud.

A set of pads on my day to commuting bike, any thing from 9 months to a year plus.
For a once a week (end) ish road bike, as my learned friend @T.M.H.N.E.T just said. years.

It really depends enormously on terrain and distance is probably a rather more useful scale than time, And it varies front to back too, with the front lasting, for me, less than half the time/distance of the rear. I have to replace front pads about every 3-4 months, but then my typical descent is over 1,500m per 100km and I cycle around 10,000km per year, so that 3-4 months represents 3,000+km and is probably very much low end of pad longevity.

Oh this is good stuff. I've not done 1000 miles yet so no need to order a set yet. Thanks.
