Product Information

Full details

The EBC FA327 Green organic disc brake pads are designed for cross-country riders and leisure cyclists who prioritize smooth, reliable stopping power. These British-made resin pads offer an excellent upgrade for Shimano Deore hydraulic systems, delivering enhanced bite without excessive wear on brake discs. While they provide excellent performance for general riding, they are not intended for heavy-duty downhill racing or extreme gravity sports where metallic pads would be more appropriate.

FAQs

Are these pads compatible with non-hardened discs?

Yes, the EBC Green organic compound is designed to work well with both hardened and non-hardened discs.

Do I need to sand the rotors when switching to these pads?

It is recommended to clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated brake cleaner to remove old pad residue before installing new ones.

Are these suitable for downhill racing?

No, organic pads can overheat during sustained heavy-duty braking; they are intended for cross-country and leisure use.

Does this package include springs?

Yes, each set includes beefed-up retraction springs to help prevent pad drag.

How often should I replace these pads?

Replacement intervals depend on your riding style and environment, but you should inspect them every 500-1000 miles or if pad thickness falls below 1mm.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel mushy or have weak stopping power.

Check for air in the hydraulic lines and bleed the brake system if necessary.

Brakes are squealing during stops.

Clean the rotor with disc brake cleaner and check if the pads have been contaminated with oil.

Constant rubbing sound while wheel is spinning.

Ensure the retraction springs are installed correctly and that the caliper is centered over the rotor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent initial bite and stopping power
  • Gentle on rotors, extending their lifespan
  • Prevents brake drag with high-quality springs
  • Ideal for casual and cross-country riding
  • Quiet operation compared to sintered metal pads

Cons

  • Shorter lifespan compared to sintered pads in wet conditions
  • Not suitable for extreme downhill or high-heat applications
  • Softer compound may wear faster in muddy environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the FA327 pads is straightforward, but it is critical to ensure your calipers are clean before sliding the new pads in. Always use the included retraction springs to ensure the pads sit correctly within the Shimano Deore housing.

Compatibility: These pads are designed specifically for the Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brake series. Always verify your existing caliper model number before installation to ensure a proper fit.

Care Instructions:

  1. Bedding-in: After installing, perform several light stops to properly bed the pad material to the rotor surface.
  2. Cleanliness: Keep oil and grease away from the pad surface; if contamination occurs, the pads may lose performance permanently.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect for pad wear; organic pads can wear down faster than metallic alternatives when exposed to abrasive trail grit.
