Ok after playing in the water this weekend my breaks are now worn out after only 1.5 years , 6000 miles and one days green laining.

So I'm looking at a set of new shoes and my questions are.
1. How long would you expect to get out of a set of shoes "1.5 years, 6000 miles and one days green laining"?
2. Should I get Padds / Brit parts (£45 referb kit) again or go for original fit?

Are you saying they're 'suddenly' worn out? You sure they don't just need a good clean up?

If there's plenty of material left on them a good clean up (maybe with petrol) might do the trick.

Nope the two back breaks have at the most about 1mm of pad and I now cant get enough adjustment on the cams to set them up correctly and my pedal takes a couple of pushes to pump them up.
Also a whole load of fine gray slurry came out when I took them off.

Aye we finished off with a ford for that very purpose but i think the damage was done earlier in the day.
We did no more that 30 miles the whole day but it F*** me shoes.
