Are toast! So is changing the pads as easy as changing the pads on a car? Take caliper off, pop old pads out, snap the new ones in and your good to go. Or is it more complicated? Because if it is I'll just take it to the shop.

Yep...super easy to do! Upgrade the quality of the pads to increase stopping power. Do a search on here for bedding in the new pads.

If you can do car brakes, you can do the bike!

id recommend you look up how to clean your calipers too...just as a preventative thing that way you minimize the chance of getting a stuck piston and uneven wear on your new pads.

Try Ebc "Extreme Pro" pads, they stop much better than stock replacements.

How do those compare to the EBC HH's?

Twice the price. Get what you pay for rule applies.

The Extreme Pros are pricey, but those that have them, love them! If you are on a budget, the Extreme Pros are not for you.

(yes, we carry them)

It's very simple. Even a caveman... well you get it.
