How do you measure how much brake pad life you got left? I'm thinking mine are almost toast.

take off the wheel, and inspect. if they look close, then you should replace... (4/32 or something like that...)

I've been told you should replace it when the pad is thinner than the backing, but mine were about 3/4 as thick as the backing when I replaced mine and they were sqeaking
