Shimano J-Type Disc Brake Pad and Spring (with Fin) Resin w radiator fin

Type J pads are finned pads to suit Shimano 2-piston brakes. The cooling fins help to disperse the heat so you get less fade under heavy, sustained braking. The same pad shape is available in Type G which is the non-finned version of this pad. 

The pads are available in both Sintered – Metallic and Resin – Organic options.
