Shimano BR-RS805/RS505 Flat Mount Resin Ice-Tech Disc Brake Pad

These pads work well, but these are NOT durable. I weigh 170 lbs, and have to replace every 1,000 - 1,400 miles. Rim brakes last me more than 10,000 miles and only then, I am replacing because they are old.

Good stopping power, quiet in all but the wettest conditions, easy to install. The flip side is I get about 1500 miles out of a pair. I haven't tried metallic, but value quiet pads and stopping quickly, so will keep using them.

Its not surprising that these pads run a little quieter than the metallic version. Side note: these pads are smaller than thier post mount caliper predecessors but i haven't noticed any decrease in stopping power. With a smaller contact area and comparable break power, I suspect they will ear faster. Time will tell.

these are decent road pads but not when you try to use them often on the hills etc. I am told metallic have better stopping power but wear even faster.

Wow, road disc is supposed to be the future. The low-profile calipers look nice on the frame and these pads are super quiet, but they do not last long if you're a rider like me. Always going up and down mountain roads and at 200lbs, the pads wear out quickly.
