M01/M03/M06 : Longer pad-life, good for anti-fade, good consistency either dry/wet. May cause noise while braking.
M02/M04/M05/M07 : Same level performance as metal pad. Shorter pad-life than metal.
Do not use M08 brake pads in combination with the BR-M515/BR-M515-LA brake system. If M08 brake pads are used, the brake
arm and caliper will touch before the pad wear indicator is noticed and a noise indicating that the pads need to be replaced is
heard, and this will result in a gradual reduction in braking performance until ultimately the brakes stop working.
C01 : Easy, controllable metal pad, good for trekking use.

Numerical values are not comparisons between different brake models, but are
comparisons between using metal and resin pads with the same brake model.
M515/M515-LA and M525 are resin specifications only.
