ssorgs Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Despite having prepared for this moment by buying 2 spare pad sets (J02A) over a year ago, I just realized they're not compatible with my BL-M8100s. Not optimistic I can find either of these in a LBS today (but I'll try!). Looking for metallics but would take resin at this point too. Fins or not. I can buy them from you today or replace them later in the week. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I may have some for saint/zee lying around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssorgs Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 AND I do have 2 pair of J02A Resin pads for a great price or trade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Checked and only have the 2 piston pads. If it's a do or die situation, and the LBS doesn't have any (which they probably wont) let me know and i can pull them out of my park bike. They are sintered from trucker co and have two days at the bike park with no squeal. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264630029014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssorgs Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Wow! Thanks! So far I got 1 pair of the D02S from Trek Research - that would take care of the worser fronts - and get me rolling again. I'll pm you some more thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 TruckerCo. pads have been good to me and might be easier to find. look for some of those to fit your brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2 on trucker. I've used all the shimano offerings and prefer the grab/bite of the trucker co on my basher bikes. Easily 200lbs kitted with armor, riding a 38lb bike and did some pretty serious & repeated descending in AZ last month. Truckers were flawless. The pad compound and rotor size makes WAY more difference than having fins. Save yourself the money.

ssorgs Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yeah, the link you shared @ATXZJ was enough for me! Ordered 3 pair to go with 1 shimano no-fin I could find (Trek Research). Ill put that on the front and eek a little more from my back until the Truckers come this week. Thanks again for the offer of your park bike's pads - if we weren't so far apart (while both still in Austin!), i woulda gone for it. FWIW, Mellow Johnny's has the fins (and some other M0s) but too pricey and I'm going fin-free... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
