Provided the rotors can take sintered pads. I used these on some RT56 rotors and cooked them very quickly, upgraded to rt66 rotors and it's been fine.

These pads seem to be the only ones I can find in stock

That's a bit silly. Quicker delivery than most shops + more reliable stock.
Still, each to their own eh

I have some in my stash that certainly wont be getting used this year (dead bike and the new bike is SRAM). new and unopened, yours if you want them.
I think they were about £25 each, PM me if that's any help

Ah I thought they were suitable but sintered only?

Try discobrakes?

Not really much use but I’ve not had much luck with non~Shimano pads in Shimano Calipers. They seem to be extra squealy.
