went to have my new tire mounted this

[midnightrider1300]

morning and the shop owner came out & asked me to step in the shop to look at something, rear breaks were gone, caught just in time ... so I got a new tire and breaks... still wasn't to bad $90 to have the tire mounted ( i bought the tire online), balanced , used nitrogen, new rear breaks put on....

Yes, the rear brake pads do seem to wear quickly on our bikes.

 

I had a similar experience a few years ago when changing a rear tire...
