WANTED: L03A disk brake pads

Everywhere seems to be sold out and won’t be in stock for a long whiiiile. Anyone know any sly shops that might have some in stock or have some kicking about they’re willing to sell?

Shimano seems OOS everywhere,

Might be a good idea and cheaper to go with something like Uber bike

this is handy for understanding what is compatible with what when searching shimano vs. 3rd party pads.

Thanks motoko, this is really helpful.

This guy is ready & waiting to supply you at more than 200% what I paid for my last set:

Hot tip - don't buy the stupid finned ones when you can buy the half-price K03S or Ti versions.

Not much stock of those right now either!

Yeah because 3 months ago I did with brake pads what everyone else did with toilet paper. :)

Man, that must really chafe.

Buying too much and sticking it in the cupboard? Not really.

You purchase and store poo?

I have a spare set of L03a that came out of a new calliper. Was keeping them as spares considering how difficult they are to buy but as my bike has practically new pads in it anyway I’m happy to let these go to someone more needy. If your happy to pay rrp I don’t mind letting them go. Otherwise there are odd places with stock but most shops have hiked the price up ridiculously.

Also, I have always kept old pads and some are only half worn so I have a bag of those too. Haha.

I remember this. Much anger was vented.

Someone is selling some as of 4 minutes ago.

Brake pad shortage is real.

Most brand new Ultegra and DA equipped full bikes are currently being shipped with the cheapo non vented pads these days. You know things are fucked when you can’t even get them OEM. It’s mental.

Fuck knows what is going on with Shimano.

We have some at work. You’d have to pay postage.
