Any reason why these (resin ones) won't fit? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=61811

I believe I'm right in thinking the pads for M785 and M985 are the same?

They will fit perfectly.
Save yourself some beans and buy the sintered/resin/kevlar ones from Uberbike or Superstar Components, I use the Uberbikes and they are spot on.

Had really bad experiences with Superstar pads, so I'd rather avoid them. Love the resin compound on the shimano ones as well.

Cheers, shall get some ordered now.

Check Rose bikes & bikediscount.de as they're much cheaper. Even with the postage from Germany, they're cheaper if buying a couple of pairs.

I normally do that, kinda need the ASAP though so sticking them on next day with the hope of having them arrive Saturday at the latest.

These the icetech ones? If they are I'd consider taking one off ya, want to run 180/180 really, don't feel like I ahve quite enough power from my rear with 180/160
