Shimano K05S-RX Disc Brake Pads

The Shimano K05S Resin disc brake pads are the successor to the well-known Shimano K03S disc brake pads and are very universally applicable. Compared to the Shimano K03S disc brake pads, the wear resistance has been greatly improved, without affecting the braking behaviour. These K05S pads can therefore be used in all conditions, without compromising on braking power, engagement or noise.

Explanation of Organic Compound
Organic brake pads consist of soft materials. This means that these brake pads provide excellent controllability and braking power. Due to the soft compound the pad also grips quickly. In addition, the organic compound ensures that these brake pads make little noise while driving.
The disadvantage of organic brake pads is that they do not cope as well with higher temperatures that can occur during long descents. Also, organic brake pads wear harder if you ride in muddy conditions. As mentioned earlier, the wear has already been reduced considerably. Nevertheless, these K05S Resin brake pads remain less wear-resistant than brake pads with a harder compound.
In short, if you use your bike mainly in the summer and mainly cycle in the Netherlands then these organic brake pads are the perfect choice. However, if you use the bike mainly in the winter, or go to mountainous areas, then you should go for Semi-Metallic brake pads.

Note
Manufacturers use different fits. So pay attention if the shape of the brake pad in the picture corresponds to your current brake pad. If you do not know what shape you have, please scroll to the bottom of this page. There you will find a description of each brake pad for which type of brake it is suitable.

Breaking in your brake pads is essential to their performance. Doing so will make them last longer, brake better and squeak less.
