My bike is at 32,200km and still on original pads with plenty of wear to go.
You mean the free play on the rear brake? I feel like I need to replace my rear brake but don't want to remove everything to check it out.. Which page btw? I wonder how to see that mark :O

There's a wear mark for the rear brake and often lots of adjustment before the shoes need changing. I just adjusted my rear brake (takes seconds) as there was too much free play and after 16,000 miles I still have lots of shoe left - nearly a cm off the wear mark when adjusted (that's cause I engine brake, ride sensibly and don't rev up and brake instantly like some people do)
Not sure how best to show this with images.
