I've try this https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005002777037048.html some months ago but the felling during a hard descend was not that great so i change then with the shimano one

Interesting - I've been using the Cooma ones (same ones) on both road and gravel. I find them pretty close to original Shimano in performance and maybe 75% of the durability.

cheap aliex L05A resin brake pads (5€...) deliver good braking power and decent durability.

Anyone have experience with these? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007370770955.html

I saw them on sale recently, the price and review seems great but can you trust during hard descend?

+1 can definitely recommend these pads. Braking feels the same as the Shimano L05A-RF, after 100 miles of use no noticeable pad wear to indicate it wears out quicker than my shimano pads. I'm using these on the rear and the L05a on the fronts.

A summary of my experience with Cooma Sport brake pads.

Pink ceramic: They squeal very loudly and started doing so soon after installation, so I got rid of them.

Gold metallic: quieter than the pink ones, they brake well and last a long time. Recently, during a 10-km descent, my brake rotors overheated and they squealed loudly on the way down. After several dozen kilometers, the glazed layer wore off. Often, when I remove the pads, they turn out to be cracked on the side or chipped at the edges—I don’t have anything to compare them to.

Now I’m going to test the silver and regular black ones.
