Sorry if this is a rather N00b question but I'm starting from ground zero as far a disc experience goes. I guess I was just wondering if I should start to load up on pads when I see a sale on them.
It's sooo dependent on individual circumstances: terrain, weather, riding style, etc. Impossible to make a prediction. As brake pads are still very expensive right now (a holdover from the pandemic-induced supply chain issues), I recommend you just keep an eye on them and purchase spares when you see a decent price.
