SHIMANO Cycling L04c Brake Pad, Black, Standard Size UK

These are awesome brakes and so far I'm very happy with them. Needed to replace L02A that were worn out. They require a "burn in" process so don't be alarmed if they don't feel right at first. Really no louder than resin pads and much better fade resistance. Overall very happy with them.

I've been through several different kinds of brake pads on my e-MTB and these are by far the best. They last (just installed my second set) and have zero fade, even on really heavy downhill braking. They don't quite fit my calipers, but all I had to do was grind off the smallest fin on the edge and they fit perfectly.

Shimano quality that you can’t go wrong with. I’ve noticed a difference in the performance of my brake since installing it. Super easy to instal, just remove the clip and screw and slide the old ones out. These just skip in place. I was very cautious about using these as they’re not the ones that came when I bought my bike. They fit perfectly and look very pleasing.

I bought a Ridley used, and the brakes were barking so bad. I cleaned them as several YouTube videos demonstrate, but the front would not quiet down. So I bought these pads. They went right in the caliper. I bedded them in as your as supposed to (more YouTube videos on that.). No noise. Problem solved, and they stop on a dime! Thank you!

These pads will likely get contaminated before they wear out. Have extras on hand just in case. Any oils or foreign materials penetrates the resin and the stopping power is greatly reduced.But that's the trade off with the design and why they work well without overheating.

Makes a sqeaky noise when braking hard for extended periods (long steep downhills) esp. when wet but that's expected for metallics. I prioritized braking performance over silence in type of riding I do when heavily using brakes (gravel & road hill work training) so ok with that. If you are looking for very quiet, flat terrain riding brakes - research differences between metallic, organic and blended mat'l types as there is going to be a trade-off.

I've tried other pads in my Shimano road calipers and they don't fit as well or last as long as these OE pads.

These have solved my issue with squealing. Put them on and rode them a few miles. Grip was instantly better. I really like their grab. Very easy to control and when cruising down a big incline there is zero fade.A confidence booster.
