I'm truly amazed that your disks wore out so early! I've gotten over 26K =
on mine currently, and after reading this, had to go measure. RH =
consistently measures 3.962mm and the LH is 4.013mm - which in decimal =
is .156" and .159" respectively. I believe the manual calls for 4mm down =
to 3.5mm min.=20
What sort of pad compounds are you using? Metallic? Something more =
radical? I push this baby pretty hard, certainly not the fastest rider =
at the track, but I'm able to run close with about anyone on the street. =
Just wondering what could have caused the early demise?

That was me. I think that part of the reason the disks were worn out at =
27K was because I had two sets of Ferodo pads on there.=20
