I like the idea of a CO VX get together. Great trails start right from my house.
You don't need to change pads until you're making scraping noises. Then you need to change them right away. Usually surface rusting of rotors gets scraped off by pads when you use them. I'm surprised in CO that you have any of that at all. Glad you got good advise and have a bit of time to decide how you want to take care of it.

RallyDude, I am surprised by the VX pad wear too, but it seems to be pretty common on all VX's. Actually my dad owns a Chevy Blazer Extreme and he is still on his original set of front brake pads at over 200k miles. He's replaced the rear pads a few times, but the front ones are still going strong.
Is this some new phenomenon in the car industry?
