    When i say 'Bike' i mean scooter lol.

    The front tire is looking like it 'could' do with replacing within the next few months theres tread there but not much of it but theres enough to put your finger between if that makes sence, im guessing maybe 1.5mm of tread? (that should be 'ok' shouldnt it?)

    there easy to change you just remove the caliper from the forks and if you look at the calliper like a metal rod will be holding the pads there will be a pin on the end of the rod thing remove that then the rod remove old brake pads and put the new ones in they might take a little time to wear in

    be careful though, with some peoples bikes when they change the pads they need to bleed the brakes also
