Where are folks buying their pads these days? I’ve got several bikes with Shimano B01s pads that are needing replacement and wondered if there was anyone doing bulk pad deals?

Cheers.

Superstar were doing four sets for about £15 last week

Superstar for me too.

I use rwd .15 a set and don’t squeel

Uberbrakes or Superstar…aware they are ‘cheap’ and not the big names, but having used various pads, I’ve not found the difference between the big names and these – other than the price. They seem to stop the same and wear the same.

Thanks folks.

Superstar, Bikefridge (discobrakes) or plain ol’ ebay

Just buy b05s for £5
Shimano Spares B05S disc brake pads and spring; steel backed; resin

I generally buy the lifeline sintered pads from Wiggle. Can be as little as £3 depending on sales. They last as well as anything else and perform well enough for me.

EBC for me. Had a bit of fade /lack of bite at inners on the longer decents and quite a bit of dragging ,was on Uber race and went to local bike shop Icycles and was recommended EBC green . about a £10-12 from shop or £8 on ebay. Far more bite and less fade when warm.

I use Bikein ceramics from aliexpress, they cost £7 for 8 pads (4 sets) for my Formulas. Got my first pack just out of curiousity but it turns out they’ve been excellent- decently longlived, good power and very, very consistent. It sounds a bit sketchy using such a cheap pad but I’d bet 10p you can buy the exact same pads with a UK “brand name” for a lot more if that feels better.

(They’re not super aggressive- the power is just sort of normal, like a superstar kevlar or whatever. But imo, that’s what you want- if your brakes need more aggressive, powerful pads they’re probably not very good brakes, since my decade old The Ones don’t need any more power…)
