FAQs

Do I need different brake pads front and rear?

Only if your front and rear calipers are different models. The pad shape follows the caliper, not the end of the bike it sits on: the same caliper front and rear takes the same Sinter pad, while two different calipers can each need their own. On Shimano DEORE XT M8100 brakes, for example, the BR-M8120 caliper takes SINTER 003 and the BR-M8100 takes SINTER 004.

Look up each caliper in our brake system list and order one set per caliper. The “In the box” line on each product page says what a pack contains.
