profile for jimirings on Stack Exchange, a network of free, community-driven Q&A sites

I've been an avid cyclist for over a decade. I raced back in the day and now stick to commuting and touring. I also like to do my own maintenance, rebuild a bike here and there, and whenever I get a new bike (again, not as often as I'd like) I usually pick each part out individually and build it from the ground up.

I've been learning web development for some time now. I'm self-teaching in my spare time, so it's slow progress.

I've also recently discovered the wonderful world of Linux. I wouldn't call myself a "power user" so it's even slower progress than the web development.

I've been working in libraries for over a decade. I'm currently a Senior Public Services Associate at the Daniel Boone Regional Library.

Welcome to Bicycles SE. This site, like other Stack Exchange sites, is not a typical forum. Users post questions and the community attempts to answer them. As this post does not actually answer the question, it would be better suited as a comment. This could also be a a question on its own, since you're asking whether a very specific situation could cause a very specific effect.

comment How long should MTB disc brake pads last?
25-40 miles per week since last August comes out to 700-1120 miles on your pads. 900 miles would be right in the middle of that. So I'm not sure why you think the OP has "not done so well."
