Shimano L04C

They are brake pads used in the Shimano Ultegra, Flat Mount, Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper (BR-R8070-R). Metal means they will last longer even if they take longer to bed in.

Pros & Cons

Use in the mountains on a top-of-the-range time trial bike

Pros & Cons

A terrible squeaking sound finally ended .

Pros & Cons

Compatible with Ultegra BR-R8070 easy to fit and extremely quiet even on long descents.

Pros & Cons

Brakes fine!!!

Pros & Cons

As far as I'm concerned, Shimano is always right. Not the market leader for nothing.

Bought these 'sintered' disc brake pads especially for my Dolomite week cycling. Due to the long descents and possibly inferior weather conditions, I didn't want to risk overheating or quickly wearing 'organic' brake pads. And that turned out to be an excellent choice. Brakes 'perfect', grip well. And no extra 'squeaks' at all. Highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

To replace the first fitting first used the "soft" brake pads, the squeaking was driving me crazy!!! Replaced with these harder ones and the problem was solved right away

Pros & Cons

After 7500km, my old ShimanoL04C front brake pads were lollygagging. They started squeaking during braking and sometimes rubbing against the discs. Thought at first there was sand between them, but it was tgv wear anyway. These are more expensive blocks with metal compound. Suitable for my gravel bike. Very wear-resistant, also for those who cycle their road bike a lot in the rain or descend long cols. Due to the use of metal and cooling fins, the brakes and discs do not get too hot quickly. They give plenty of braking power, are quiet and easy to dose. And at Mantel at a good price!
