How bad is that really? I mean i want honesty. Just like people saying you should never use certain bolts again just to cover their butts but half the time theres no problem.

Im installing new rotor today and i couldnt afford new brake pads and these pads have plenty of life left.

Insight and reasons please.

Also my front wheel bearings wont move on me, its time to replace them right? (i cant turn the bearing by hand)
 
I just put a new front tire and pads on last week. I noticed that I have the orange bearings.. Those are the ones that seize up right? Thinking about upgrading at the end of the season. If you get new bearings Loki, could you post up the part number?
 
Thanks for the input guys!

Used the same pads and mounting hardware with red loctight and rode around for a bit without problems! The EBR hardware is still very new.
