Ha! In all seriousness, it seems like every spring I have to do new pads. (the squeal is awfully awful and is cured by new brake pads and sometimes even rotors). Come to find out someone posted a thing that Shimano doesn't recommend keeping brake pads in their systems, unused, for a certain level of time. Something like the brake oil leaks?

Guess what? Winter time. Bike doesn't see action...cuz snow. Closed trails. So I'm supposed to take the pads out in the winter? Ummm....mkay.

one pad for full price = 50% off?
What? Like you want this thread to be relevant? C'mon man! :)

Come up to my house. You can have some for free. Not saying they aren't toast or full of brake fluid But "free". Caveat emptor. But you're not really buying anything. Soooo....you'll just have to ride a pump track with me. Ha.

I am in the process. But for now, the best is Berthoud https://berthoud.org/1465/Berthoud-Bike-Park. About 30 min south of FTC, easy drive for me. So easier-ish drive for you. Professional pumptrack (Velosolutions) and DJ's.

We have a sweet bmx track in town tho. Twin Silo BMX. Do you know why they call it that? Cuz there's 2 silos. HA!
