FAQ

What is the difference between this complete shoe set and the standalone R55C4 cartridge pads?

This set includes the full shoe body (holder) plus the R55C4 cartridge insert. The standalone R55C4 pads are insert-only replacements for existing shoe holders already mounted on your caliper. Use this set when replacing worn or corroded shoe holders, or when building a fresh caliper.

Can I use these on carbon rims?

No. The R55C4 compound in this set is formulated for aluminum rim braking surfaces only. For carbon rims, use the R55C4 carbon-specific pad cartridge.

Will this shoe set fit my Shimano 105 R7000 caliper?

Compatibility depends on the specific shoe holder format. The Ultegra R8000 shoe body fits Ultegra R8000 and compatible Ultegra 6x00 and 105 5x00 calipers. For 105 R7000, verify the shoe format against your caliper spec before ordering.

Best For

Ultegra R8000 and compatible Shimano road rim brake caliper users on aluminum wheels who need a complete black shoe assembly replacement for a fresh, OEM-spec caliper rebuild or when existing shoe holders are worn.
