A brake pad assembly for a human-powered vehicle having a wear sensor and a number of probes surrounded by the tribological pad of the brake pad assembly. The wear sensor generates a signal indicating a wear condition of the tribological pad when one of the number of probes is agitated. The signal is transmitted via a transceiver circuit to an external processor, which may provide indications of wear condition to a user of the human-powered vehicle. The brake pad assembly may further comprise a tribological pad, base plate, wear sensor, and support for the transceiver circuit comprised of ceramic components.
