[QUOTE="oscar, post: 167828, member: 2757"] calibrate the micrometer by lining the 0 indicator up with the 0 black line on the micrometer and then twist it open till you get it on the pad and then slowly tighten it until you feel the tiniest of the tiniest resistance developing ; that'll be your measurement, like this for your pads (below) [img]https://s27.postimg.org/4m0rlttsz/IMG_20140307_122738.jpg[/img] this is how to read the micrometer just incase you get confused, this would read as 14.28 / 14.29 mm (or maybe it's 15, i can't clearly see if it's over the 14 or into the 15 ... but you should get the idea) [img]https://s3.postimg.org/va2fcw1qb/IMG_20140307_122722.jpg[/img] i wouldn't go down to the minimum before you change though. a good rule of thumb is to add on 1mm / 2mm on top of the official figure for vented discs and 1mm for the rear single solid type discs, your calipers look like a good job man!
