I have about 3mm of pads and about 2mm of groove. They are the OEM pads and I've done 22,000 miles. I thought they were low when I had the bike apart comparing them to car pads, and I ordered new pads. When they arrived and they only had 5mm on brand new, I realised mine were only half worn and left them on the bike, the new pads are now in a a drawer in the garage waiting until I've done another 22k!

If you can still see a mm of wear indicator, your not going to need new ones because of a trip to Wales.
