Shimano Type J Brake Pad Parts

Stop with confidence! If your brakes are starting to feel weak, it may be time to replace your pads.  

Type J pads are finned pads to suit Shimano 2-piston brakes. The cooling fins help to disperse the heat so you get less fade under heavy, sustained braking. The same pad shape is available in Type G which is the non-finned version of this pad. 

The pads are available in both Sintered – Metallic and Resin – Organic options.
