Needing some more XT pads , usually buy genuine ones for about £7 odd , now cheapest I can see is over £12 ! Bloody Covid 🙄
I buy bulk Chinese sintered ones on ebay. 10 pairs for the price of one genuine and i honestly can't tell any difference.
Yea, I saw this early on in lockdown, there were nil available in the EU so I brought some genuine Shimano from Taiwan from eBay!
try aliexpress
wwwz that aliexpress site looks shady, have you used them before?
Aliexpress is fine, I've used it to buy a coffee grinder and it was really easy. Your item may take weeks or a month to arrive but it will come.
Havent used shimano pads for ages unless in a new caliper.
I buy my brake pads from uberbike now. I always wait for a bank holiday when they have a 25% discount.
Try them, you won't be disappointed.

I bought loads of genuine Shimano xt/slx pads last time they were £4 a pair on Amazon, but that was two years ago, not seen them as cheap since.
