Ashima Brake Shoe 3 Function
Prettiest pads in the peleton
The Ashima Aero features a '3-function' pad. A soft grey 'plow tip' at the front 'cuts' through rain or dirt. The long slightly-harder, salmon-coloured mid section employs water removal channels. The harder grey section at the back has a hiking boot-like tread. Employing different compounds and shapes makes for the ultimate in all-weather performance.
Ashima Brake Pads actually feel grippy and soft to the touch. The CNC machined pad holder is airy and elegant. But it's airy and elegant for good functional design reasons such as to maximise cooling and to minimise weight. Forgive us for gushing but we have never been so excited about a new brake block since the 1970s when people like Kool Stop and Aztec introduced synthetic pads that outlasted and outperformed everything that came before. Ashima now appear to have taken the next step forward when it comes to designing an even better mousetrap. I mean brake block.
- CNC-machined cartridge pad design.
- Cartridge pad design saves money - replacement pads are cheaper than complete pad-and-shoe sets.
- Cartridge pad design can save time - if you replace the pads in situ you might not have to realign the brake shoe as you would if you were replacing the whole brake pad-and-shoe set.
- Supplied with a set of spare pads in black.
- The set even comes supplied with spare cartridge pins - you know, the ones you usually bend or lose when you try and reuse them.
- Easy-check wear indicators give you early warning when to change your pads.
- 54mm long - Shimano Dura-Ace BR-7800, Ultegra BR-6600 and Shimano BR5600 compatible.
- 32g per pair.
