Shimano Deore m615 pads

pesky_jones

I'm probally being stupid but when I search for these pads I get m515 pads etc but they are apparently for mechanical brakes... I can't seem to work out what I need :oops:

cooldad

596 pads, and SLX/XT Ice tech pads will fit new Deores as well.

Ice tech is pointless. Even on four minute dh runs it does nothing.
Im liking Nukeproof pads at the moment. More bite and cheaper than Shimano. Brake Authority pads are equally good but not quite as cheap.

Ok, sounds good, where can I get suitable nukeproofs for deore m615?

Yeah unless you live in the alps I doubt ice tech is anything more than a gimmick

rockmonkeysc

I got my Nukeproof pads from CRC

M615's now use the same pads as the new SLX/XT/XTR's. M596's use a totally different pad design.

cooldad

Sorry, yes, I have 596 and older XT and they use the same pads, not the new ones.

What is Ice Tech?

cooldad

Finned pads and sandwich rotors - steel 'bread' and aluminium 'jam'.

I see. My new XTs have come with the finned pads. Obviously that's for heat sink cooling purposes, but what's the thinking behind the sandwich rotors? Just weight saving, or is the aluminium core meant to dissipate heat better?

cooldad

Presumably, but I think it only makes a difference to seriously gnarrly riders, so totally wasted on you.

And me obviously.

How very dare you. I possess mad skillz, I'll have you know. Just not on a mountain bike, lol.

I'm not thinking of buying the rotors, was just curious what the thinking behind them was. I have a spare 300mm one of these in my loft, wonder if it would fit my Boardman, lol...

Only problem I can see is the bolts may not line up.
If you glued two together with toast you'd kinda have ice tech, and a snack as well.

I only have one though. Bought it for my TDR 250, and that has a single disc. Oh, I have a set of new EBC discs for my Bandit up there too though, I could glue those together. Will Bostik work?

cooldad

Marmite tastes better.

Kowalski675

Ewww. I'd rather eat Bostik than Marmite.

You two get a room

These are Ok I take it.. Just before I click the button

pesky_jones

ordered now anyway so hopefully they fit

Kowalski675

Nope, they aint gonna fit. The pads you want have the hole for the retaining pin in the centre:

cooldad

I'll take them off your hands for a tenner.

pesky_jones

Argh

In the q and a someone from wiggle (I think) said these pads are suitable for deore brakes. I assumed what I bought was just two sets of them. I blame wiggle

cooldad

They were 1 year and 9 months ago.

Should have read this one:

Pesky - I have superstar kevlar pads that will fit your brakes - One pair brand new in box plus one pair used for one ride.
£11 posted for both pairs.
Pm me if you're interested.

pesky_jones

No thanks mate, need them asap

I'm so confused. can anyone tell me, which pads to get for my brakes, from this site. Just which ones, from this site, will fit.

cooldad

S5 I hope. Or you're really buggered.

pesky_jones

Hm arent they the four pistoned pads... This is fucking ridiculous

pesky_jones

Is it really that hard to just list what brakes are compatible with the advertised pad? Superstar have been the best so far but even they dont make sense

pesky_jones

surely I can't be the first person to replace pads on these brakes...

pesky_jones

Can ANYONE tell me what pads I need?

cooldad

S5.

cooldad

Although I have been wrong in the past.

It's fun seeing your head explode though.
