Im after a spare set of pads for my XT rear brakes as weekend in the Lakes next weekend. Running 203 up front with 180 at the back.
Still got the ones that came on the bike now so could just get the same. Yonks since I bought pads and wondered if there was a go-to brand these days. Cheers
Boringly, my go-to brand for Shimano is...Shimano Resin. Lasts longer than anything else I've tried.
Shimano resin or Uber race matrix are my choices, depends which are on offer.
Try uber bike ..great pads at a fraction of the price.
Think I’ve got a couple of sets of Uberbikes that I could do you a deal on as I no longer use them.
Otherwise I heard that Direttissima Shimano replacement pads are very good!
Rahox- best pads I’ve ever used.
Uber bike Sintered , no squeal & great power. Tried all shimano pads & these are so nuch better imo.
Uber Race Matrix here, no issues, no noise
I've used Gorilla, Disco bikes and Uberbike. Of those I think I preferred the Uberbike Sintered at the top, followed by the Discobike and Gorilla but rather uselessly I can't recall exactly what kind. The Discobikes were good but the squeal was unbearable. The Gorilla I remember nothing about. They were just pads. I say this as a very low level rider of course. If they were all comparable price I'd go Uberbike.
Thanks all.
Checked and I have Shimano G045 Metal so looking for as close to these as possible - sintered if other brands? Groundskeeper - sent you STW message re your pads.

£5.60 prime on amazon, I got a shed load of the G02A resin pads for £4-£4.50 in recent weeks on amazon
