Ah but have you seen the roads down JerH's way? lots of nice twisties.
But even so that sounds rather rapid wear. I pull my pads out regularly enough to clean the brakes and the last set [EBC] after 2 front tyres was only half worn so I put them back again.
I do keep plenty of spare pad sets and generally its always EBC I use. However I do recall one EBC set fitted with a front tyre in March 2014 being changed after only 7 months and about 12,000 miles when the set of pads were down so low that the friction material came off at the next front tyre change in October 2014. When I saw them I figured no more than about 10,000 miles on that set but I would be expecting around 20,000 miles on a set. I know the set that came off came from UK too.......
Are all the pads wearing evenly?
Also if front wheel is off needs to go back same way as tyre is one directional and discs should go back to the pads they had before wheel came off. The only time that need not happen is if you are changing tyre and pads at the same time.
