If you get cheap pads then you have no idea how quickly they wear so it would be advisable to check their thickness fairly often.
I agree with that but it ended up being as easy to pull the pads out and clean up the calipers etc.
Pins seem to suffer with corrosion and if not smooth they stop the pads floating freely, pads ended up stuck at one point so they wore at an angle. Now I just clean the pins every few weeks and make sure its all doing as it should. I have spare pins so its very easy to swap them on the day and clean them in my own time.
I just use organic pads and they seem to work out fine.
