Changing your brake blocks is a pretty simple task. To know if they need changing, simply look at the grooves in the pads, which are wear indicators. If there are no grooves, they need changing! It's also worth changing your pads if you're doing a long ride with lots of descents - in bad weather you can get through a set in a day.
