Can I use these on my road bike?

No — the M70T4 is a V-brake shoe designed for MTB and hybrid rim brake systems. Road bikes use caliper-specific brake pads that are not interchangeable.

How do I know when to replace the compound?

Replace when the rubber reaches the moulded wear indicator line, braking feels spongy, or you notice glazing on the compound surface. In Indian monsoon conditions, inspect every 500 km.

Are these genuine Shimano or aftermarket?

Genuine Shimano OEM parts (model Y8BM9803A). Identifiable by the Shimano logo moulded into the compound and correct part number on packaging.
