R55C4-A CARTRIDGE-TYPE BRAKE SHOE FOR CARBON WIDE RIM (-1MM THINNER SHOE)

Product Information

These Shimano R55C4-A cartridge-type brake shoes are engineered specifically for modern carbon wide rims, featuring a 1mm thinner lining than the standard R55C4. This design ensures optimal clearance on rims with an external width typically ranging from 19mm to 28mm, preventing tire sidewall contact and maintaining consistent braking pressure. They are designed to deliver reliable stopping power and consistent modulation on carbon braking surfaces.

The R55C4-A compound is formulated for carbon rims, excelling in both dry and wet conditions. These pads resist frictional heat buildup during long descents and offer above-average durability, making them a solid choice for demanding road cycling. They are compatible across various Shimano road caliper brakes, including Dura-Ace, Ultegra, and 105 series.
