Lekker 4 day "kop skoon maak" trip : Strand - Outdshoorn - Die Hel Gamkaskloof - Montague - Strand.
Day 1 - this was the planned route, but I don't play so lekker in mud (lots of rain), so we sticked to tar
Strand N2, Celedon, Bredasdorp. Mostly gravel Malgas > Riverdale > Herbertsdale >...
Nadat ek die bande een keer moes afhaal het ek besluit daar is geen manier ek langs die pad wil sit met pap wiel en moet tube regmaak nie . So ek het maar my self die conversion gedoen. Baie belangrik om die rims baie goed skoon te maak. Elke nipple baie goed seël. Met die eerste oppomp was daar...

Got about 30k on the first (original) set of pads on my NC. Currently sitting on 52k, will be able to get at least another 5k - SBS. About 70 - 80% of the km's in traffic, commuting.
Not getting at least 15k - riding style or really crap pads. Or maybe the disc needs to be skimmed.
My previous set was MT60's. They look good, good handling but expensive and get very little km's. I only got 6K on the rear and about 8k on the front.
Currently have Mitas E07 rear and Michelin Sirac front. Also had to lift the front mudguard. About 16K's on this set. Works for me, on and offroad.
Tyres I currently have on my NC:
Front Sirac 120/90/17 - Mud guard raised by 30mm, also dropped the forks 5mm to get bit more clearance between the tyre and bash plate.
Back Mitas E07 150/90/17
