ShimanoL02A Resin Disc Pads with Cooling Fins(Return to Product Page)

I use these on 4 different bikes for road, commuting and cyclocross. They are quiet and provide good consistent power.

I am still on my original pair of these disc pads. They are very, very easy to remove, inspect, clean andor sand if necessary - perhaps a bit easier to service than rim brake pads due to access. But that is open to debate. Cooling fins are not necessary for flatland use. I cannot comment on effectiveness for long hill or mountain descents.

These pads provide excellent stopping power and modulation. Excellent control.

Quieter than metal but wear much faster. As long as you can do your own maintenance the cost to wear differential is worth a quite ride.

Resin or metal for road? Resin is the answer - quiet, smooth, easy to modulate. Shimano quality. Mine last about 4-5,000 km on a pretty tough commute cycle. Great in hot or cold, sun or rain.
