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. The bike is a Christmas present and so will not see any use for about 5 weeks as we are in November now.

L04C and L03A brake pads are designed for use with Shimano’s Dura-Ace, Ultegra-level brakes, Tiagra-level brakes, and aluminum or carbon rims. BR-M9000, BR-M9020, BR-M987, BR-M985, BR-M8100, BR-M8000, BR-M785, BR-M7100, BR-M7000, BR-M675, BR-MG666, BR-M6000, BR-MG615, BR-S700, BR-RS785, BR-R785 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.

BR-M975, BR-M966, BR-M965, BR-M800, BR-M775, BR-M765, BR-M665, BR-M601, BR-IM596, BR-M595, BR-M585, BR-M545, BR-M535, BR-R505, BR-S501, BR-S500, And you will understand by yourself while using that these brake pad systems are very similar in terms of compounds, materials, BR type looking, and shape. Though the specific types of brake pads are designed for specific brake systems, many of them are compatible. Compatibility Chart: Series

Both D02S & D03S brake pads offer improved braking performance that can make your cycling life even better. Among the models in this series you will find L04C & L03A. The Shimano BR-R9170,BR-R8070, BR-R7070, BR-4770, BR-RSB05,BR-RS5O5, BR-RS405, BR-RS305, BR-U500, BR-RX810, BR-RX400 brakes can all use Shimano’s L04C and L03A brake pad types.Due to the presence of an aluminum plate and sintered metal surface, you will get excellent heat dissipation, which will increase the life of your brake pad.
