You’re spot on with one thing; if the pads is crap, it nothing to replace pads and rotors whether it’s a nightmare with carbon and alu wheels.
Have to write off a carbon wheel that done 200k due to using wrong pads and the braking surface is now glazed, way to write off a 3k wheelset.
Yeah, I'm anal when it comes to the TT bike but the discs, meh. I've killed a set of rotors riding in Wales with no spares but since then I've been pretty good keeping on top of pad replacement to keep the rotors intact.
