Shimano BR-9170 Metal Pads & Spring K04S-MX

The Shimano K04S original metal brake pads are a game-changer. They offer outstanding braking power, long-lasting durability, and excellent temperature stability. The specialized metal lining material significantly boosts the braking force, providing a safer and more efficient stop. The steel support plate not only insulates the caliper well but also enhances the overall performance. These pads are designed for 2-piston brake calipers and have a narrow K-type shape, fitting seamlessly into your braking system. Even without radiator fins, the K04S pads don't sacrifice their great braking ability and lifespan. With these brake pads, you can easily tackle tough terrains and demanding riding conditions, confident in your braking system's performance. Features include a metal lining material, more braking power and durability, no radiator fin, a narrow K-type pad shape, suitability for 2-piston brake calipers, a stainless back plate, and a 1-pair package.

Using these Shimano K04S metal brake pads is straightforward. Just install them into your 2 - piston brake calipers as you would with regular brake pads. Make sure they fit snugly and align properly. When riding, you'll notice the enhanced braking power right away. However, avoid sudden and extreme braking as much as possible, as it can wear out the pads faster. For maintenance, check the pads regularly for wear. If the lining gets too thin, it's time to replace them. Keep the pads clean by wiping them gently with a dry cloth after a muddy or wet ride. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting on the steel support plate. With proper use and care, these brake pads will serve you well for a long time.
