Review on 2 Pairs Brake Pads For Shimano XT, XTR, SLX, Deore & Alfine - Resin/Semi-Metallic/Sintered Metal by David Gibbs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

R317 pads fit, but not the spring

So the pads work- at least from a quick ride down my road. But in order to fit the pin on an older sora road disc brake caliper (Br-R317), I needed to use the old spring bars. The spring bar that came with the new pads did not allow the pin to slide all the way through. I'll update this review if there are any updates with pad wear.

Pros
  • Look good.
Cons
  • The brake pads may not fit properly on certain bike models
