105 Disc pads K03s

Hey - Got 105 disc brakes last year.

had to find a YT video to explain disc brake pads!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7L97F2R0_Y

Can someone tell me if I buy any shimano K03S Resinpads, will the fit onto the 105 calipers?

i.e. this for example:

Doesn't mention the BR-R7070 model number.

Am I missing something?

I think you need something like this: https://www.bike24.com/p2303939.html

Yes they should work. Would reccomend finned pads though as they supposedly mean better heat dissapation

yeah - I ordered a pair anyway - I dont think I need them yet, but with shortages etc handy, but I did notice mine came with finned on them.

Seems to be a bit of debate whether or not its any use (I suspect not in Ireland - no long downhills like with Spain/Italy etc) - but no doubt I will but them anyway!


Thanks all!

Ensure you read the writing on the disc itself, mine says ”resin pads only” ensure you don't buy the other two types (whose name disappears from my brain) (metal and something)

sintered, organic/resin and semi-metal

Sintered?

That YouTube link I posted got me the basics at least!
Rims are say easier..!

Pad of choice on motor bikes for racing I believe.

Apparently can wear the rotors down more (makes sense) but I wonder by how much?

How many pad changes per rotor does the average resin/compound last (I guess it depends on if you live in Wicklow Vs north county Dublin)?

Should have stuck with rims.. too lazy to learn new skills and patterns lol

I don't think this is an issue in Irish weather on the road, just an opinion but I just ca''t see the benefit for double the price.

What about the sintered tho? If I follow the theory correctly, they would be better in winter/ wet, but how bad is that rotor wear (I guess its not that bad..)
