Lifespan
After mounting the new brake pads, it is very important that the pads are braked in, this extends the lifespan.

Breaking in
How to improve the life of your disc brake pads:
The braking in of new disc brake pads extends the lifespan considerably! Keep the brake lever slightly pulled while you ride and make sure the brake pads are touching the brake disc. Drive for approximately 100 meters at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour and brake a little harder at the end to reduce the speed to approximately 5 kilometers per hour. Then slowly increase the speed while braking lightly. Repeat this 10 to 12 times to ensure that your new brake pads are properly set in.
