AP brakes front Pagid 29's

[derek]

Got a query of pagid 29 pads for front ap brakes. I have just bought 2 sets one has a single groove cut in the pad across the middle and on the back you can see 2 large rivets and one small. This is the same as what i have purchased in the past

The other set I have have 2 slots dividing pads into 3 equal areas and on the back they have 4 rivets.


The pads are exactly the same size just thought i would try and check it out before going to bed brakes in.


Anyone aware of the difference?

you might find one is 1mm thicker! (18mm E1903 for CP5555) whereas more normal pads are 17mm (E8018 for CP5575)

See if they are a tighter fit? They still will go in just but a squeeze and rub for a while!

Hi Shimmy,
Thats its photo of them below . Just fitted the E1903 pads fitted in fine. Any advice on what one is best does the pad benefit from the extra groove.

dont know but depends on price!

e1903 is thicker so lasts longer BUT if you disc is new it can be hard to fit!

The Pagid R29's I just brought have one slot and three rivets, The Mintex racing pads have two slots, ae the slots not just for the dust to go
