I went back in and did more digging on my brake pads and their numbers.
I don't know what was on my machine when I got it at 2500 miles. But since then, I've put on:
Niche semi-metallic ($42): Ran 2250 miles. Rear were metal-on-metal, front were about half worn.
Niche semi-metallic again ($42): Ran 1920 miles and changed them out. Rears were on squealers but had pad left, fronts were in good shape, changed them out anyway.
Ransoto sintered metal ($65) - Ran 1520 miles, rear pads were completely shot and fronts were maybe 60-70% wear.
So I was thinking, the full sintered metal pads didn't last as long as the semi-metallics? Went back to the fascist Amazon page and found that they 100% guaranteed them for 6 months. I let them know that they didn't last as long as the competitors semi-metallics. Let's see how they respond...
<edit>well, they refunded my money! I'll take it...
