[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 164151, member: 264"] The measurements are in here>> [url]https://www.twingo133.net/technical-and-paint-information/twingo-renaultsport-maintenace-t371.html[/url] As Maggi said, they are often neglected untill they start to make a noise. Theres no wear indicators, so a visual inspection is needed. If your light on the brakes and they don't wear down from being used hard, then the pads seizing in the carrier or, the caliper guide pins/sliders seizing up is a possibility. If you have a bit of time and the tools required, then a strip down and clean once a year is a good idea as it can save the hastle of having to get it fixed when its gone wrong... which will never be at a convenient time. Theres a picture guide in the how to section for stripping down the fronts. Mine were stripped and cleaned yesterday as I was swapping wheels over :P [/QUOTE]
