Description
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.
Sintered/Metallic:
Pros:- Less fade at higher temperatures.
- Perform better in wet conditions.
- longer lasting.
- Better for heavier riders and heavy, sustained braking.
Cons
- Less Initial bite
- Noisier
Resin/Organic:
Pros
- Quiet.
- Better initial bite.
Cons
- Tend to wear out faster
- Don't perform as well in in wet conditions.

Worth the extra dollars. If
by Marcus -
Worth the extra dollars. If your wondering what the difference between Metal and Resin is... metallic tend to grab when hot, making you lock a wheel. Resin modulate more predictably, and rarely bite without you wanting them to. Some may disagree, they work best for me though in XC/XCM/Enduro.
Excellent braking power, however can't

Excellent braking power, however can't seem to get rid of the squealing under braking, even after bedding in multiple times.
