FAQ

What is the difference between metal and organic brake pads?

Metal brake pads offer better resistance to wear and high temperatures. They are particularly suited to demanding mountain biking and wet conditions, whilst organic brake pads prioritise quiet operation and progressive braking.

Are the G04Ti Shimano s suitable for use in the rain and mud?

Yes. They have been developed to maintain high braking power even in difficult conditions such as mud, sand or severe weather.

Does the titanium backing offer any advantages?

Yes. The titanium backing reduces the weight of the pads whilst improving thermal insulation between the pad material and the braking system.

Are these brake pads compatible with all Shimano discs?

No. It is important to check that your discs are compatible with metal brake pads. Some Shimano rotors are approved for resin brake pads only.

Are they sold in pairs?

Yes. The kit includes a pair of brake pads, as well as the retaining spring and pin.
