I’m a rush I ordered some S4 pads from them as quick glance it said new SLX.

Turns out these are not the right pads at all. On closer inspection the M7100 don’t look to be listed.

Looking at the picture guide they might be H4 but hard to tell from the guide pics.

Anyone using them and know what which ones fit? Sent a message to them but might get a quicker reply here.

I would have thought S4 (Saint), but just realised that's what you've already got, so slightly confused. I thought all Shimano 4-pot pads were "saint" fit?

Are you sure your brakes are 4-pot? Wouldn't that make them M7120 not M7100?

I think the S4’s should fit most shimano 4 pots or certainly the more modern ones. Saint, Zee, SLX 4 pot( 7120)deore 4 pot (6120) XT 4 pot (8120) all use the same.

So I’m guessing either they have sent the wrong pads or you have 2 pot (7100).

This might give you more of an idea……

And H4 are for hope.

I would guess if it’s that shape you need S5.

Ahh just checked and pretty much sure I got sent S5 and not S4. That would be why they are different.

How do Uberbike compare? They have so many options I am not sure which ones are best. Sintered, Race Matrix etc.

Yep those are s5. Email them - they've been really quick to sort issues for me previously.

Supetstar have had 20% off pads all of October and will until the end of Oct with the discount code on their home page.

I'm a big fan of supetstar Kevlar which are a nice balance of power, wear and feel with minimal bedding in.

Uber bike race matrix are great too but need really careful and specific bedding in IME otherwise they are scary bad. They need gentle braking for quite a lot of stops but then to get full power (which is actually really really impressive) they need to get smoking hot. I go find a long (looooong) and steep road descent in Sheffield and get them literally smoking. After that the power and feel is great.

What’s the benefit of the Kevlar over the organic ones?

Ordered some Kevlar ones. It was them or race matrix. Hopefully they are decent enough.
