       Brake pad specs

       Hi
       Does anyone know the official size / thickness of  new brake
       pads to use as a comparison to the used ones on my bike ? The
       riders manual says  replace pads once you have run out of thread
       on the adjustment wheel  but i am after  the actual pad
       thickness to show they are within normal range . I just don't
       know what  is the actual range  they should be in ?  They do
       work fine  and pull the  beast up  relatively  well , its never
       really going that  fast anyway !
       any  ideas
       Ric

       No idea I'm afraid...
       I have seen them for sale on eBay though.

       Difficult to say, since the bike hasn't got any to start
       with....I need some rear brake  shoes though.

       There's a pair of shoes here
 (HTM) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTO-GUZZI-NUOVO-FALCONE-500cc-CEPPI-FRENO-Brake-shoe-pair-front-/221906898656?hash=item33aaae8ee0:g:CVUAAOSwNNxWFOic,<br
       />which will give you an idea of the original lining thickness.
       Also linings for sale here

       I'd be careful; probably asbestos at that age.
