Shimano L04C Metal Disc Brake Pads

The Shimano L04C Metal Disc Brake Pads are high-performance brake pads designed for use with Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems. These pads are made of metal compound material, which offers excellent braking performance in a wide range of conditions, including wet and muddy conditions.

Metal brake pads typically last longer than organic pads and are more resistant to wear, making them a good choice for riders who ride frequently or in challenging terrain. However, they can be louder and generate more heat than organic pads.

The Shimano L04C Metal Disc Brake Pads feature a steel backing plate that provides additional support and durability, as well as a cooling fin that helps dissipate heat and prevent brake fade. The pads also have a low profile design that reduces noise and vibration.

When replacing brake pads, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and instructions. In general, brake pads should be replaced when the pad material wears down to a thickness of around 0.5mm or less. It's also important to bed in new brake pads properly to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
