Avid elixir levers adjustment

gonga

I have had to set the reach adjustment to max out because im finding that when i get my bike out after a week in the garage the lever on my front has made its way in a little.
Each time i have adjusted the reach a little to compensate but now i have no more adjustment left.
Are my pads just wearing fast?
Im not sure when a pad needs changing, is there a guide on the pads somewhere to tell you when there worn out?
the pads look to have a little left to go but im not sure how much there was there to begin with.

Mmm

not in the manual but

Avid brake pads should be replaced when the total thickness of the backing plate and pad friction material is less than 3mm.
