Shimano G05A-RX Resin Disc Brake Pads

The Shimano G05A-RX Resin brake pads are the successor to the existing G03A brake pads. These brake pads have even better braking power and controllability than its predecessor, so perform even better. The aluminium backplate is instrumental in cooling the brake pads and prevents extra noise when braking.

Excellent braking power and controllability thanks to organic compound
These organic brake pads consist of soft materials. As a result, these brake pads give excellent controllability and braking power. Due to the soft compound, this 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 are less able to withstand higher temperatures that can occur during long descents, for example. This has already been improved somewhat with these brake pads due to the aluminium backplate, but is still not as good as with brake pads with cooling fins or a (semi-)metallic compound. In addition, organic brake pads wear harder if you ride a lot in muddy conditions.

Please note:
Manufacturers use different fits. So pay close attention to whether the shape of the brake pad in the picture matches your current brake pad. If you don't know what shape you have, scroll down to the compatibility section. There it is described for which type of brake pad 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.
