Breaking is no longer as effective as before and the brakes have greatly had their time. Perhaps it is time to replace the brake pads. The mix in the brake pads significantly influences the braking characteristics and performance of the brakes, for this reason it is carefully selected for your needs on the different types of terrain. For a mixed use without extreme descents, the resin pads are a great solution as they bring comfort and are stable in cold conditions: as for those who demand the maximum and seek the double-digit descents will opt for the metallic or semi-metallic pads with an exceptional quality at high temperatures. For the more common systems there is ample choices: original Shimano spare parts or equivalent, including Ashima and Alligator boast an excellent quality / price ratio and great durability.
