Yes absolutely your pads could be worn out at 10K.  They could be worn out 5 or 6 times in 10K----    Depends more on the rider than on the miles.    Need to check the thickness of the pads, probably both front and back to make sure.

Sounds like you have low fluid and/or air in the brake system, if you have no brake pedal.  You could have a leak and not have a "big enough" leak to have seen the fluid.   Or if the pads are worn enough the fluid could be low because the caliper is extended, due to the low brake pads.

Do you ear any squeak, when breaking? If so, then it could be that pads are worn. Check them out.
But I guess the matter is the breaking system itself.

Hi Marco, no squeaks or squeal. I'm thinking maybe worn pads. Haven't had time to look at it yet. Thanks.

Yesterday I went for a ride and the rear brake pedal goes to the floorboard with little to no brake resistance. The fluid reservoir is at the lower level (no leaks). Could the pads be worn at only 10,500 miles?
