Shimano N03A-RF Disc Brake Pad and Spring - Resin Compound, Finned Alloy Back Plate, One Pair

This is a pair of N - type disc brake pads with fins, designed for 1 caliper. They are a perfect fit for 4 - piston SLX, XT, and XTR calipers from 12 - speed generation groups. The Ice Technologies fins and aluminum backplate work together to cool down the brakes during use. This not only improves braking consistency and power but also reduces brake fade on long, technical downhill stretches. Compared to D - type pads, these pads last longer. A spring is also included. Model Compatibility: Shimano BR - M9120, BR - M8120, BR - M8020, BR - M7120, BR - M820, BR - M810, BR - M640, BR - MT520.

Using these Shimano disc brake pads is easy. First, make sure your bike has a compatible caliper as listed in the model compatibility section. Open the caliper and remove the old brake pads. Then, insert the new N - type brake pads with the fins facing the right way. Don't forget to install the included spring. When you're done, test the brakes to ensure they're working properly. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the brake pads' wear. If they start to get thin, it's time to replace them. Also, regularly clean the brake components to keep them in good condition. When riding on long downhill stretches, try to use the brakes in a controlled way to avoid overheating. This will help the Ice Technologies fins and backplate do their job of cooling the brakes and keep your braking performance consistent.
