§ 03 — Compound

Organic or sintered? Your call.

01Organic

  • Quieter lever feel, better modulation
  • Easier on carbon and alloy rotors
  • Fast bed-in, great for dry road and race day
  • Wears faster in wet conditions

02Sintered

  • What to run for wet commuting and CX mud
  • Longest life in grit, dust, and rain
  • Louder when cold, needs proper bed-in
  • Consistent bite down long alpine descents

Running both? Keep a pair of each, swap per season. Pads are cheap. Rotors aren't.

§ 07 — Questions

Answers before you need to ask.

Which pad fits my groupset?
Check the fitment table above, or email hello@loamgoat.com with a photo of the pad currently in your caliper. Fitment is driven by caliper shape, not by rotor material or bolt type.
Organic or sintered for road riding?
Organic for dry road and race day. Quieter, better modulation, easier on rotors. Sintered for wet commuting, long alpine descents, and CX mud. Longer life in grit. If you do both, stock a pair of each and swap.
Are these the same quality as OEM Shimano or SRAM pads?
Same compound technology, same backing plate spec, same shape. Many of our pads come from the same factories that supply OEM for several brands. The difference is you get two pairs for the price OEM charges for one.
Will they work with my carbon or titanium rotors?
Yes. Pad fitment is determined by caliper shape, not rotor material. Organic pads are easier on aftermarket and alloy rotors. For full-carbon rotor systems, match to the rotor manufacturer's recommendation.
How fast do they ship?
Same-day dispatch from BC if ordered by 2pm PST. Canada: 2-5 business days. USA: 5-10 business days. Free shipping on every order, tracked express over $100 CAD.
Why two pairs per pack?
Every bike has two calipers. OEM sells one pair per pack, so replacing both means buying two. We ship two pairs per pack so one order handles front and rear, with a spare set left over.
What about Campagnolo?
Campagnolo Chorus, Ekar, Record, and Super Record hydraulic disc calipers share a pad shape with Magura MT2-MT8 (DB-310/DB-410 spec). Most versions are compatible — a small number of newer Ekar calipers may require OEM pads due to a magnet housing difference. Email hello@loamgoat.com with your caliper model year and we'll confirm before you order.
