I have a Specialized Allez with Shimano Sora brakes on, but I can't seem to find any brake pads that say they designed for them. Does anyone know what types I can use or which ones are best? I did a search and found Shimano Ultegra and Shimano 105, but I don't know if they are compatible.

Thanks.

Shimano ultegra pads should be compatible:

I have an Allez with Tiagra brakes and the problem with them, which I think is the same with Sora, is that they come as a complete unit- whereas the higher level ones have a metal casing and a pad as a cartridge which fits inside it.

I understand you can swap them over, but you need to buy the casing and the pad - not just the pad.

These Jagwire ones should fit Sora if they're not the cartridge type £1.99 a pair

Thanks for the replies. I've decided to order the Shimano Ultegra this time. As this is the first time I've had to replace them, I thought I'd go with a brand I know.

I've been using the Ultegras for the last year and liked them, £10 a pair, one piece, lots more wear than the cartridge low profile pads I had originally, they were fine for me and I brake a lot

dunno about rim wear but I do wear rims out over a year but again and I'm a big lump braking hard a lot

just fitted some looky likey ones the London Bicycle Repri shop recomends, £5 a pair, felt very good on the ride home, see what happens in the wet I suppose
