2 Pairs Bike Disc Brake Pads Compatible with Shimano Deore XT XTR SLX (Resin,Semi-Metallic,Sintered Metal) SCP-SLX

Update, several rides after initial review: OK these suns o’ guns are squeakier than normal, even when dry. Even so, if they last 70% as long as Shimano pads, I will likely purchase again. I sort of feel the noise, discernible during medium-hard slowing, for downhill switchbacks, for example, can be seen as a benefit to alert others. I’m pretty used to them.Initial review:For the price ($10!), I am very satisfied with these resin brake pads. I ride a Spec Stumpjumper 29er on Colorado Front Range trails in dry to variable conditions (some snow, some mud slop).I took 5 minutes to bed my brakes—wet one set of the brakes at a time with water, get up to 15-20 mph, then brake to a near stop without locking up brakes, repeat several times; then do the same for the other set.I have put over 100 trail miles on these pads, and they are working just fine. I have heard a little more squeal from them than my last pads, but I have been riding thru some springtime snowmelt, so I am in no way concerned.Buy them, bed them in, ride them. If I notice significant deterioration or short life span, I’ll be back to update.

Definitely reccomend for extreme use or downhill stopping power. I replaced the resin brake pads previous owner installed on the rear brakes. Sometimes they are a little noisy...butI don't care aslonh as I can effectively stop. Downhill ru s and overheating pads require these. These also have outlasted resin pads on my mountain bike. No more heat soaking and lack of stopping power.

I've only done three rides with these on my rear brake around Durango, CO - for reference, down Skyline, down the "Secret Trail" and down Sick Bird (likely soon-to-be-RIP at the time of typing this, thank you BLM) on Animas Mtn.They're not noisy like metallics and seem to perform as well as the Shimano G02S pads that were slowly but surely putting me in the poorhouse. Obviously with just three rides I can't speak to longevity but it seems unlikely they won't outperform the Shimanos in terms of cost vs time lapsed, given the low initial expense.Truly I need to get rid of my SLX brakes which are ultimately the problem, and I'm just trying to feed them a low-cost (and oh-so-regular) diet of pads until I can upgrade.

I really like the way these pads perform in regards to braking. Smooth, quiet, and they don’t lock up as quickly as the metal pads I was using before. Snap easily in place on the install and I can afford to have spares around at the price I paid for them. I don’t know how long they’ll last as of yet but I can get 5 sets of these vs what I was paying before.

Works as should!

I ride an enduro bike (Evil Offering) and ride down very steep trails in northern California. For years I used noisy metallic and semi-metallic pads because I was told resin pads didn't have enough "stopping power". That is untrue. These resin pads are more than enough to stop my large body (210 pounds) and bike on very challenging MTB terrain. They work great in my Shimano XT 2 piston brakes. You get a very gradual bite with resin compared to metallic pads, which I've actually learned to love. But, once you get halfway into the lever pull they grip up tight and will stop a train. Thanks!

I replaced my oem pads after I bled my shimano M7000 brakes and must have contaminated the original pads. I replaced the rotors as the same as I installed these pads (front and back).The stopping was horrible. I used them on my fat bike just to ride around. However, they would never work on a trail. As winter is coming and I will start using my fat bike more I bought some shimano pads. I did not change the rotors, just the pads and instantly my brakes were back to normal.I don’t know what was wrong with these Dymoece pads, but I that was a waste of money.

These installed super easy. Fixed my noisy brakes and now I can easily do anything I want. Great product I love them. Can not be beat unless you spend a small fortune on them.

Surprisingly good. I usually get Shimano or Nukeproof but having some trouble with my brakes didn't want to spend a fortune. I'm pleasantly pleased by these.
