DUE TO THE CURRENT HIGH DEMAND, DELIVERY TIME FOR BIKES IS 7-10 DAYS. ALL PARTS AND ACCESSORIES ARE STILL 1-2 DAYS.

We researched other brands and found that they were appalling quality straight out of the box and often more expensive too. Durability is an important factor to consider when choosing brake pads as nobody wants to replace them frequently. The L03A, with its cooling fins and resin compound, offers improved longevity by effectively managing heat buildup and reducing wear on the brake pads. Meanwhile, the J03A’s organic compound focuses on resilience, making it an optimal choice for riders who frequently encounter abrasive terrains or engage in intense riding situations.The downside of organic brake pads is that they do not manage higher temperatures which may develop during long descents, for example, very well. While the addition of cooling fins has already proven to improve this aspect, organic brake pads remain less heat resistant than brake pads with a harder, (semi-)metallic compound. Also, harder brake pads remain more wear-resistant than the organic J03A Resin disc brake pads. Another crucial factor to consider is the weather compatibility of brake pads during your ride adventures. Here’s where differences arise between Shimano L03a and J03a models. If you wish to return your bike to us please keep it in the box it arrived in and call us on 01772 644340 and we will arrange a collection.

When it comes to braking performance, both Shimano L03A and J03A have their unique advantages. The resin compound used in L03A pads significantly reduces noise during braking while maintaining consistent stopping power. Moreover, their excellent modulation allows for precise control in varying road or trail conditions.Performance and Modulation: Both brake pads employ organic compounds, ensuring impressive stopping power and consistent performance across different situations. However, some cyclists find the modulation slightly smoother on the L03A due to its aluminum construction, making it slightly easier to control your braking force precisely. The L03A brake pads tend to offer better wear resistance due to their high-quality materials and construction. If you frequently ride in challenging terrains or engage in aggressive braking techniques, these pads might be your preferred choice.
