Semi-metallic brake pads for Shimano SAINT / ZEE

Wide semi-metallic pads for SAINT and ZEE calipers

The pair of semi-metallic pads with black backing plates has a wide friction surface, an upper mounting tab and a separator spring with a retainer. Each pad measures approximately 39.4 × 23.9 × 3.88 mm.

Features and fitment

• Brake pad material: semi-metallic.
• Black backing plate; approximately 39.4 × 23.9 × 3.88 mm.
• Pair with spring and split pin.

Approximate dimensions

• Pad dimensions: 39.4 × 23.9 mm.
• Thickness: 3.88 mm.

The shape is intended for the appropriate Shimano SAINT M810/M820 or ZEE M640 calipers. Compare the exact designation of the installed caliper and the dimensions of the removed pair.

Brake pad material

Semi-metallic friction material combines metal particles with a resin binder. The compound offers a compromise between initial bite and heat resistance. A clean disc and gradual bedding-in of the new pair are important for consistent braking.

When to replace and how to get started

• Inspect the pads if braking performance deteriorates or if there is uneven wear or contamination. Replace both pads in the same caliper; check the brake instructions for the minimum permitted thickness.
• Remove the retainer and the old pair. Following the procedure for your caliper, make room for the new pads, then insert the spring, new pair and retainer. Do not grease the friction surfaces.
• Check that the wheel rotates freely and the lever works correctly. Bed in the new pads with several gradual decelerations in a safe place, without locking the wheel.
