Disc pad change

[marsaday]

I need to change my disc pads on my shimano deore brakes.

This is the first time i have changed them, so wondered if i am buying the correct pads on amazon here:

Amazon product ASIN B00FGJLM52View: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pairs-Shimano-Deore-BR-M575-DiscoBrakes/dp/B00FGJLM52


Any tips appreciated.

Do they appear to match your existing pads? If not sure check with the technical docs on Shomano's website.

Ok i have removed my front set of pads this afternoon and i have a screw which holds the two pads in place. Not a cotter pin.

The pads are rectangular and have the hole at the side. I dont think i can take a photo to show which pads i have. I cant see them on amazon.

The link above is not what i need i think.

I need to change my disc pads on my shimano deore brakes.

The ones you linked too are physically the same as mine that I recently changed, but they are stated as being semi-metallic.
Check your discs as mine state 'RESIN PAD ONLY'.
There is some argument that unless you're downhilling then it wouldn't matter, but resin pads are easily sourced so I stuck to the same and ordered Shimano ones.

Go direct to Disco Brakes. They are a very good, reliable company and you'll be able to find the correct compatable pads you need.

These look like mine, but i dont have the protruding finger bit on one side.

Thanks for the heads up on disco brakes. I can see them. Mine are Deore M555

The brake part number is on the back of the caliper
