Does what it needs to do and the price is not too bad for me

- Tjeerd, 10 March, 2025

For the gravel bike, I have been using these brake pads for 1.5 years with great pleasure. Good braking power and little squeaking and creaking. Do regret that Shimano does not supply a screw + locking pin.

Good braking performance

Durable, quiet, good braking.

- Joris, 9 December, 2024

Fine brake pads. Almost never squeak, less than other brands anyway. They last quite long in my case. The previous set lasted a year, which amounts to at least 5000 km. And they brake impeccably in all conditions.

Pros & Cons

Brakes well
Durable
Seldom squeaks
Still quite pricey

If you are looking for reliable, powerful and durable brake pads, these are recommended.

- Drew, 21 February, 2024

After installing these pads on my bike, I was amazed by their performance. The braking power is unmatched and the response is immediate, making me feel safe and in control at all times, even at high speeds and in challenging conditions. Moreover, they seem to show almost no wear, even after prolonged use.

Pros & Cons

Durable
easy to mount
Good braking power

Solid successor to L03A-RF

- Huib, 27 February, 2023

The successor to the L03A-RF was less available for a long time. Fortunately, now that my blocks had run out, I was able to go into the new season with these L05A-RF. They are very easy to install and align, a child can do the laundry.

Pros & Cons

Successor L03A-RF also works fine
Wears out harder in winter than metal

Excellent brake pads

- Kurt, 14 September, 2022

Much better than the previous version (L03A-RF). With these brake pads gloriously defied descents in the Dolomites, both dry weather and rain.

Super plates, but delivery leaves something to be desired.

- Daniele, 2 August, 2022

Nothing to complain about regarding the inserts. On the other hand, delivery time NOT respected for the 3rd time in a row.

Nothing to complain about, the pads work great
