Difference vs R55c+1

What is the difference between the R55c3, R55c4 and R55c+1? I have R55c+1 which came as standard with my BR-cx70 cantilever brakes, but they wore exceptionally quickly. Is the R55C4 a suitable alternative for cyclocross/offroad riding?
Asked by: lerum
The R55C4 compound is designed to minimise wear, provide good braking power and modulation.

C4 v C3

I am looking to replace the C3 inserts as mine are worn but just want to be sure before purchasing of what the simiarties and differences are? will the C4 model be compatible with a shoe that has been holding the C3 model or is the C4 different in size and dimension so would it be best buying totally new shoe systems?
Asked by: Mark080590
We can confirm the C4 will be a direct replacement We hope this helps!
