Ha mine were like that in France this year, conversation went like this after finishing a run:

Me: "Hmm I think my pads have worn out they're not working as well and are making a nasty noise"
My Mate: "Yeah..... another run?!"
Me: "Sure thing  Grin"

I cant do that !
My 7' just munched up my pad when it got near that state, it actually has holes all the way through, and it munched up the little metal clip thats inbetween the pads.

So yeah, new pads i think  Roll Eyes
