aye they look about right and the description says they fit. Slightly expensive for what they are though (literally a few coins though). Would go to a local bikeshop for convenience personally - reckon they'd probably be cheaper too.

£15 inc postage

Mine were either £9 or £11 for oem replacements. Are you sure the dealer wasn't offering you sintered/race pads? (unnecessary for the rear brake imo, considering the way I ride)

Wemoto do them for 17.50 and then 2.50 for shipping so it's not a bad price

Go for it then, especially considering your local can't beat it.

yeh the dealer said to go for sintered pads, from what i read they have a longer life and i use the back brake most of the time, just wasnt too sure about those pads as the teeth on the side arnt the same as the pads in the caliper atm, i had them appart to clean earlyer

That's up to yourself then I rarely use my back brake so don't think sintered are necesary probably different in your case then. I wasn't aware sintered pads have a notably longer life ,although kind of makes sense bearing in mind they eat disks.

They look correct. Wouldn't say sintered are that important on rear but, like Davenumbers, I don't use the back brake much, if at all.
I've used gold fren HH on the front before and thought they were pretty good.
I payed about £15 for EBC organics for the back of mine from the dealer.
Don't know about oem pads for the rear but the one and only time I asked about them in a dealership they wanted something rediculous like £80 for the fronts.
