So... I had the same pads most likely on the R670... and they're just not great pads. What they really lacked was modulation, plus they built up crap in them constantly.

  • I am using swissstop pads now, but only because I have carbon wheels. They are still good, but I've heard awesome things about shimano's pads on normal wheels. Plus, they're cheap.

  • Pads are pads so far as fit, but yours are probably all-in-one instead of having separate pads/shoes like shimano equipment. So you'll need to buy the whole assembly. I got these, but you can get the 105 version for a bit less as well.

Adding to the point about upgrading the brakes, I bought a bike two years ago with very similar brakes (Fuji Sportif) and even upgrading the brake pads to these made a huge difference in stopping power over the stock pads. Plus the ability to swap just the pads instead of the brakes is great in the long run. Like zmjones said if you're just using it for fitness it's a perfectly nice bike and Claris is a solid groupset.

Check to make sure the brake pad hasn't hardened or has a piece of metal stuck in it and is scratching the rim. I got a 2014 Trek 1.2 in May and I noticed a scratching sound on the back brake during the first ride. I took off the brake pad and it was clean. When handling the brake pad it felt like it was a rock. I checked the other 3 pads and they felt softer, like regular rubber.

When reading reviews about this bike before I bought it. A common thing was the bad brake pads. I decided to upgrade the brake pads. I got some Shimano br-6700 cartridge pads and they are amazing.

Spend a few bucks and buy a set of decent pads like Shimano. I run a DP18 up front i grabbed from CL and it did not have a machined braking surface. I purposely burned through an old set of pads to break thru the clearcoat and paint to hit metal. If you have the NMSW rim then you go thru that first set of pads pretty quick. Now they are smooth, quiet, and with Shimano pads brake great. Just make sure with dual pivot pads you have them adjusted properly to the rim.

Edit: Changed the link to a set of pads.

So I recently lost one of my brake pads. I have these brakes and planning on buying these replacements. Can anyone advise if these brakes are the right ones? They look like they fit, but I know there are other types of brakes like v-brakes and disc brakes that I don't know too much about. Thanks!
