How long does a pair of brake pads for bicycle last for?

Well, there are several factors that might change this answer.  How much you ride, how hard you are on your bike, and if you leave your bicycle outside in adverse conditions (as the rubber will wear faster)?\n\nPretty much when you see the rubber getting thin, time for new pads...

Anywhere from 2 to 5 days.

With everyday use, on average, they last 3-5 years.  BTW, it doesn't matter how much you write to a hard drive, it's never the write head that wears out.  It's almost always the bearings (in the motor) that wears out.

As long as they last - depends on wear...\n\nTrains are inspected at each terminal. Thats about it.

Hello. Is this what you are looking for?\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_averages\n\nOr is this what you are looking for?\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StatistiC\n\nAnd, since I'm not very good at maintenance on my bikes, I usually only keep them for 5 - 6 years.

That bike is not bad, and it is good that you are deciding against disc brakes...\n\nAnyway, I prefer Specialized.

Avg life of CD could be about many years, if they are stored. But if they are constantly being used...it will slowly start wearing out (mostly because of the scratches cuased by dust particles, esp in the CD Drive).. but even then it will easly last few years.

0-60 is around 2 secs, and the braking is almost as fast, so it should be around 4 secs.

you sure you have brake pads or brake shoes? i have never seen or heard of pads on the rear,you usually have shoes back there because they have better stopping control.i don't see how riding in that can cause the brakes to wear fast,unless you are breaking a lot.are you talking about a motorcycle or automobile. if a motorcycle  yea that's pads,but that wont make them wear out. it all depends on how much abuse your given to it.

as long as it takes for a person to dump the other! some last forever, some last for an hour!!!

Cross drilled rotors have holes that are chamfered, meaning they have an angle cut on the top. They won't reduce the life of your pads enough for you to notice, but some added wear will result. Expect to loose about 5k miles of life. IMO this is a small amount of pad life to give up, considering the added bennefits of the cross drilled rotors. You are reducing the heat build up, which will increase the rotor life, and will help you avoid brake fade.

Brake linings are composed of a relatively soft but tough and heat-resistant material with a high coefficient of dynamic friction (and ideally an identical coefficient of static friction) typically mounted to a solid metal backing using high-temperature adhesives or rivets. The complete assembly (including lining and backing) is then often called a brake pad or brake shoe.\n\n \nIn this view of an automobile disc brake, the brake pad is the black material held by the red metal component (the brake caliper). The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal rotor when the brake is engaged.Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied. In most modern vehicular applications the system is conceptually identical, except the rims would be replaced with solid steel (or sometimes exotic metal) rotors. Furthermore, a metal tang is usually incorporated into the pad assembly. The tang contacts the rotors when the linings are worn out, causing an annoying noise designed to alert the motorist that brake servicing is required.\n\nSince the lining is the portion of the braking system which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat, the lining must be capable of surviving high temperatures without excessive wear (leading to frequent replacement) or outgassing (which causes brake fade, a decrease in the stopping power of the brake). Due to its suitability, asbestos is often a component in brake linings; as a result, brake dust should never be inhaled

Yes, after 14,000 miles, my Ultegra groupset is beat. But I already threw them away.

I used to work for a component manufacturer who designed a number of the internal parts for many of the major vendors HDDs, this is what I was told:\n\nThe average service life of a hard disk is usually given as "5 years or 20,000 hours." This means if a hard disk operates 24 hours a day, you will need to replace your drive with a new one every 1.5 to 2 years. (For specification details, refer to your hard disk drive's user manual.)\n\nThe measure of service life used by most hard disk manufacturers is "mean time between failures" (MTBF)*1 (usually quoted at between 300,000 to 500,000 hours). The ratings (for expected service life) used by PC makers are more conservative, as they are based more closely on "real world" usage conditions. Since expected service life and MTBF figures can differ by hundreds of thousands of hours, we recommend you use the expected service life value. For example, the usual service life of a 2.5 inch drive will be almost 5 years or 20,000 hours, if used at the temperatures specified for your PL. However, if a drive is operated continuously, i.e. 24 hours a day, its service life will be shorter.\n\nFor more information refer to the sources below.

only one single pad pushes against the rotor and the rotor gets pushed on to the pad behind it. the fluid will get contaminated by water and dirt over time and if u leave ur bike outside in the winter the lines might crack and the fluid will leak other risks are that depends on wat gets on to the rotor the breaks won't work as well as they are new after a while so tune up the breaks every few months and every new seasion. i had a problem with my frond disc due to the weather(the pads became too close to the rotor so they are rubbing against the rotor evey time i ride.)\n\nand how cold in celcius is 20?

Well its 2 years old and you're supposed to replace them every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. So Yes!
