  • I have these Shimano 105 style brakes on one of my bikes.
    The brake pads are very much dead.
    What are these pads called exactly, and is there a fancy, red Kool Stop version of them?
    I can't find them on their site.

    Ta!

  • Thanks!

    These "holders" look a bit shit though -are there no all-in-one pads (holder including pad) any more that fit this anymore these days?

  • You just need to buy modern holders and then fit whatever pads you like

    This is obviously the correct answer, and the R55C3 shoes (BR-6700 and many others) in silver will be a good match for those old 5500 era calipers - in fact, cartridge shoes were OE and those one piece pads are what somebody has replaced them with later in life.
