I believe they are L05A compatible, but with their own unique "eggroll" design shape. I like the LTwoo brake pads. I ended up putting them on my GRX gravel bike. They're a bit more expensive compared to the Shimano finned pad knock offs, but braking performance seems quite good and so is the wear life.

Interesting, thanks!. I was thinking the other way around (shimano pads in l-twoo calipers)
I guess I'll see how I like them when the GR9 set arrives.

how do the stock brake pads perform compared to shimano ones?(k05s / l05a)

so my BR-05 arrived (also got the ONIRII ones). Couldn't test them yet though.

Bad news:they do not use K03S/K05S pads. Ordered them online and they (K05S) are not as wide as the ones that come with the BR-05.
Good news: local bike shop got a part restock and the G03S fit.

So far I am running both the Juintech F1's and the BR-005 with the original pads that came on delivery.
I am also wondering what improvements could be achieved experimenting with different pads...
Hopefully somebody can share some experience with different break pads and make some recommendations.

Could you give the BR-005 a test already? Could you leave some impressions?
I'm in the planning phase of my CFR696 build and those are the brakes I'm likely going to use. Though I'm a little bit concerned that I'm not going to be that happy with the brake power. (coming from V-Brakes with compression less housings on my old-school graveler.. but I also have 4 piston brakes on my all mountain fully, so I'm kinda spoiled)

You could try semi-metallic pads? they're certainly more abrasive that the stock resin ones. However I remember Juin support explicitly telling me to only use resin pads with the GT-F

It's a bummer Onirii didn't design the BR-05 for finned pads though. K03S is just the non-finned version of L03A which would open up a lot of cool stuff like SwissStop's EXOTherm2 or Jagwire's Elite Cooling. If you want to keep things resin and OEM, I guess you could try the K05S which is the latest in the Shimano K02S/K03S non-finned resin lineage.

That's quite a good hint with the K05S, since K03S seem to be out of stock atm pretty much everywhere where I look.
Sorry for asking and kinda hijacking but the B03S would likely not fit, right? (besides they are using a splint and not a screw to secure the pads)
While I'm at it.. regarding rotor choice: there are shimano rotors designed for wide pads (as B03S) and narrow (like K03S) pad shapes. Would I experience down sides using rotors designed for wide pads but actually using narrow pads? (the other way around would make sense to me to be disadvantageous)
