Great stopping power. Word of advise - make sure you properly clean your brake rotors and bed in the brake pads when changing.

Pandemic caused pads to be scarce.
These OEM pads are just the newest version from K02S, L02A, L03A.
Went on easy and work great!
Great site to shop. I buy many products from them.
Once you get these pads set up right, they are powerful in both dry and wet conditions. That being said, you need to make sure that you bed the pads in correctly before going on a proper ride. There are a plethora of different youtube videos about this topic, but generally speaking, you want to get up to a decent speed (maybe 15 mph), engage the brake gradually until you are down to around 5 mph, release the brake BEFORE YOU LOCK UP THE WHEEL, and repeat the process at least 10x per brake.
Learn a lesson from me and avoid squeaky/not effective braking. Fear not, I was able to sand off the glazing on my pads and rectify the situation without too much fuss.
Easy to install (after watching you tube video). At 5 mm thickness, roduct is an upgrade to the 3 mm pads that came with my bike.
Factory parts. Only way to go
Just a quick upgrade from the original set of pads. So far much better than before.
Attention: The contact area of this pad overhangs the braking surface / overlaps the painted area of the Dura-Ace SM-RT900-S and SM-RT900-SS rotors, 140mm and 160mm.
I don't think they're compatible.
Awesome stopping power and quiet too, combined with the new DA rotors I have complete confidence in my brakes. I weigh about 210lbs and the only time I have to squeeze the levers hard is when I�m going downhill at 30mph or more and come up to a red light or a stop sign.
Worked exactly as expected in the original Shimano packaging!
What a wonderful improvement over the 03!!! Better stopping power, better modulation, and quiet. Bedded without much fuss -- just careful at the end of a stop for a little while. And, did I mention, no more squealing?
This pad replaced the L03A pads, which replaced the L02A pads. Shimano states that this is a further improvement. Fit wise, it is. Time will tell if stopping power or wear is improved. For now, no issues with the new pads.
The brake pads ordered were correct for the application and arrived in a timely manner.
Works like it should once the calipers are dialed in.
They work and are pretty quiet. No complaints.
These do exactly what you want them to. They fit shimano brakes (105 to be specific in my case) and they stop your bike! Good price, work well, arrive quickly. Can't ask for any more.
