### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Install and Sharp, Smooth Braking Restored!
*by B***N on May 7, 2025*

Fast delivery. Fits like original on the Shimano 105 hydraulic brake caliper system and quality looks the same. Easiest brake pad job if you are used to doing car disc brakes. Only used a flat head head screw driver from my Rock Bros multi-colored to remove and replaced the pin holding the pads to the caliper. Slowly push back pistons with a piece of cardboard wedged into the caliper and also user cardboard wedge to optimize the gapping after pads were installed. Reinstalled wheel and tested for bed in-braking so sharp but smooth. Performance-wise the brake lever travel restored. I got about 4000 miles from the old brake pads and expect the same durability from these.
