Shimano G04S Disc Brake Pads — Metallic

I received these yesterday. The delivery was faster than I expected. I haven't used them yet, but they look good and seems to be well made. I will review again after trying them out.

EXCELLENT!!! --> Do yourself a big favor and don't go in for knock off brands...just spend the couple of bucks more for these! I lost about $15 going for a cheaper no-name brand that did not even fit my bike even though they specifically listed it as fitting. Since I tried to install the knock off ones after the return period, I needed to just throw them away. These ones are perfect!!

Installed these on my trek fuel ex 9 and they are quiet, powerful and reasonably priced. Make sure you follow the break in procedure, it makes a huge difference with wear and performance.

Metallic is the way to go...excellent stopping power on my XT System

Many people complain of the metal ones squealing but I have not experienced that problem with these metal pads. I am using 180mm Teyssor rotors and all is well.

Lots of reviews talked about lots of noise, and abrupt, unmodulated braking. I put these straight on a rear disc that had already had some metal contact with the backer on the old pads. Not bad, but still...and they worked great even before bedding them in. No noise, smooth control. Now to see how long they last.Original resin pads had 5550 miles on them.I don't brake very much though.I have a saying, "Don't brake, it'll only slow you down".

Upgraded just the front brakes to these when they wore out (probably due to ski lift served riding) and they were much stronger than OEM. Had to upgrade rear too to keep it in balance while riding. After some getting used to it, they are great and now I only need one finger to brake, but still use two in order to have better control.
