Description
The Shimano K05S Resin disc brake pads are the successor to the well-known Shimano K03S disc brake pads and are very universally applicable. Compared to the Shimano K03S disc brake pads, the wear resistance has been greatly improved, without this having affected the braking behavior. These K05S brake pads can therefore be used in all conditions, without compromising braking power, grip or making noise.
Explanation Organic Compound
Organic brake pads consist of soft materials. These brake pads therefore provide excellent dosing and good braking power. Due to the soft compound, this pad also grips quickly. In addition, the organic compound ensures that these brake pads make little noise while riding.
The disadvantage of organic brake pads is that they are less resistant to higher temperatures that can occur during long descents, for example. Organic brake pads also wear faster if you ride a lot in muddy conditions. As mentioned earlier, the wear has already been greatly reduced. However, these K05S Resin brake pads remain less wear-resistant than brake pads with a harder compound.
In short, if you mainly use your bike in the summer and mainly cycle in the Netherlands, then these organic brake pads are the perfect choice. However, if you mainly use your bike in the winter, or if you go to mountainous areas, then you are better off going for Semi-Metallic brake pads.
