Shimano direct mount brakes - help needed
Hi all, I have a direct mount rear Shimano 105 brake and recently needed to replace the pads. The front pads were fine but the rear shoes have the securing screw closer to the middle of the shoe. This means that the supplied slot for said screw is in the wrong place and the pad won't fit properly. I can't find anything on line about this - has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

Thanks T K, I just ordered the correct brake pads through wiggle for £5.99 after checking on your shimano PDF.
Good work TK!
Also these are shown on CRC (105 /5810 version)

You need R55C4 brake shoes these have the usual notch (front brakes) but also the cut out/notch to allow fitting to rear direct mounts...you can also buy these with the supplied holder (as in the example below)

for reference here is the Shimano tech doc.
