Hi.

Anyone know where these can be obtained?

Nothing immediately obvious on google. What would be compatible?

Cheers

    Go to Uberbike or Superstar and check out their offerings, both do pads compatable with your brakes.

    Or, obviously Shimano pads from LBS or most online stores. But I'd go with Rookie's suggestion.

    As already mentioned superstar or uberbike and choose from either sintered (metal), Organic or Kevlar brake pads.

    Never got on well with replacement shimano pads so I use either of the two shops pads.

    never had much luck with superstar pads, some separated, and the Kevlar ones last 2-3 rides and were nailed..

    after trying a few different after market ones I go with own the proper brand ones now...

    I think the shimano ones are pish TBH both my zee/saint and slx ones in semi-metalic and resin heat up far too much

    My Superstar Kevlar lasted over a year.....also Superstar, Uberbike and many others come from the self same factory, so other than specific options, none is better 'quality' than the others.

    Jagwire sintered are great , never failed on me, like the sintered shimanos
