Shimano L05A Resin Disc Brake Pads

The Shimano L05A disc brake pads (L05A-RF, type L) are resin pads with an aluminium plate, designed for anyone wanting reliable replacement disc brake pads for their road, gravel or city bike.

The organic/resin material is non-sintered: the aluminium plate combined with the resin compound is the configuration chosen by Shimano for this model. The pack contains 1 pair, or 2 pieces, with the spring included, giving you everything needed to replace the pads in one calliper.

Before ordering, check your calliper model. They are compatible with 2-piston hydraulic brakes and mechanical disc brakes. For postmount, BR-M9100 is listed. For flatmount, the models are BR-R9170, BR-R8070, BR-R7070, BR-4770, BR-RS805, BR-RS505, BR-RS405, BR-RS305, BR-U5000, BR-RX810 and BR-RX400. They are not recommended with 180/203 mm SM-RT56, SM-RT54, SM-RT30, SM-RT26 and SM-RT10 discs.
