Just fitted new original Shimano pads in some Ultegra brakes I bought on Eblag and they were tighter than a tight thing - went in with a huge effort and looked as if they were about to burst out again, especially the short section of the pad after the recess for the holding screw. If they don't conform to the shoes over the next year or so I'm going to have a hell of a struggle removing them. They were the same pads I fitted without too much effort in the shoes on my 105 brakes. Is this normal?
