    look for the number on the calliper it will be something like BR- M535 ( the 3 numbers are the important bit)

    Email it to me and ill tell you which pad you need

    contact@superstarcomponents.com

    (or look at the pad identifier on our website to see the difference in shape)

    Hope this helps.

    bigbenj_08 - Email me with what you like for bulk prices. Discount for 10+ packs at a time on the website under special codes.

    Smiler666 - The code on the shimano pads relates to the compound not brake type. Just check the picture against our pad identifier. Here are the three possibilities:

    S1 - hole at one end and a hook at the other.
    S2 - Tab in the middle/top with a hole in
    S3 - Tab at the end with a hole in
