brakes

The bits circled in blue are the adaptors.

The bits not circled in blue are the calipers.

The calipers are bolted to the adaptors.

The adaptors are bolted to the frame.

You will notice that the front and rear adaptors are different, this is because the mounting points on the frame are different for front and rear.

Bloody hell LOL time to get to my optician for new glasses. I never even noticed that. yes can see the difference now. But I was convinced both was same LOL. thats the whiskey dumped lol

The calipers are identical , they are held on to the adapters by two bolts.

One just looks for resin brake pads, sometimes they are called Organic pads.
The correct designation for the pad type is AO1S.

Don't buy the sintered or metal pads as they are a harder compound and not suitable for most generic rotors/discs, they may make the brakes squeal like a pig or even be ineffective in braking.

The brake pad shape is AO1S designation, they are shimano pads so any you find are simply copies of them. Many differing brands copy them and also many brands make calipers to suit the brake pad.

Yes.
Personally I would wait until the calipers arrive and confirm the listing is correct.
The calipers will arrive with a set of pads fitted so you will be ok for about a year so no rush to buy the pads.
That said I don't know your braking method or terrain you ride, I once went wore thru a set of resin pads in about 2 miles on the South Downs after it had rained. The chalk and mud turns in to a grinding paste and gets every where , pads in those conditions don't last very long up there.

It would be silly to buy pads and find the listing is wrong and they have changed the design, wouldn't be the first or last time a China listing isn't right.
