We often get asked which replacement brake pad to get. We have created this guide to help you identify your brake pad type. We researched other brands and found that they were appalling quality straight out of the box and often more expensive too. These two gentlemen could not be any more accommodating if they tried, quality service that is a rare find in today’s crazy world, I can not recommend this company enough!

Hydraulic disc brakes are also less fiddly to set up as both pads move toward the rotor vs. mechanical disc brakes where only one pad moves toward the rotor. The Hydraulic disc brake systems we use can self-adjust at the pad wears down, resulting in less maintenance.

The Shimano B01S is one of the most common brake pads used in the industry. Almost every bicycle repair shop will have B01S. This pad is used on at least 45 different brake systems spanning across many different brands. It is used on hydraulic and mechanical disc brakes. The Shimano B05S Resin disc brake pads are organic MTB brake pads and the successor of the well-known Shimano B03S brake pads. Compared to these, the B05S pads provide the same braking power and modulation but last a bit longer. Start by identifying which brake system is on your bike. The easiest way is to look at the lever. The table above will help you identify the brake system based on the lever design. You can also look at the caliper to confirm the brake system type. Take note of the pad type in the last two columns. Most of our e-bike use the Shimano B01S compatible pad. This pad has the Shimano D fit. If you are looking for an alternative, or this brake pad is sold out, you can find alternative brake pads The bike is a Christmas present and so will not see any use for about 5 weeks as we are in November now.hello I currently have shimano B01S pads, are the B03S identical and compatible? thank you for your reply There are two fundamental ways to move the brake pads. Mechanical disc brakes use a cable wire to push one pad toward the rotor. This cable wire can stretch resulting in inconsistent performance. Hydraulic disc brakes use a non-compressible fluid to push both pads towards the rotor the result is improved braking power and modulation. Braking performance is critical for the faster class 3 e-bikes. Various ranges: M315, M355, M365, M375, M395, M415, M416, M445, M446, M447, M465, M475, M485, M486, M575, MT500 The disadvantage is that Hydraulic disc brakes systems are several times more expensive than mechanical disc brakes. However the actual brake pads are about the same cost.
