These Generic R55C4 brake pads are cartridge-type inserts for carbon rim brake tracks, giving you a straightforward replacement for compatible side-pull, cantilever and direct-mount side-pull brakes. The supplied four lock pins help secure the inserts in their holders.
The R55C4 compound is made for reliable braking across changing conditions. It delivers above-average dry-weather power, average wet-weather power and high fade resistance, making it a sensible choice for riders who want predictable braking on longer descents without moving to a different brake system.
You’ll also get high durability in both street and muddy conditions, plus above-average rim friendliness. Before fitting, confirm that your brake holders and wheel manufacturer permit these pads for your carbon brake track, then keep the pad and rim surfaces clean and free from embedded debris for the best braking performance.
Ideal for maintaining a compatible rim-brake road or cyclocross bike fitted with carbon wheels and cartridge-style pad holders.
Carbon-rim specific
Designed for carbon brake tracks rather than standard aluminium rims, helping you choose the correct pad type for your wheels.

Above-average dry power gives you solid stopping performance in normal riding conditions.
Durable construction
High street and mud durability ratings support a good service life through regular riding and dirtier conditions.

Broad brake compatibility
Listed for compatible Dura-Ace, Ultegra and 105 side-pull brake generations, as well as selected direct-mount, cantilever and cyclocross/on-road models.

Generic is a catalogue designation for products presented without a distinct store-brand identity. The term describes the retail classification rather than a separate manufacturer history or geographic origin. Generic-labelled products can still have clearly defined specifications, standards and compatibility requirements. For this component, the catalogue designation is retained while the fitment details identify the relevant road bottom bracket application.
