Review on 🔒 Sunlite MX1000 Aluminum Brake Set Rear/Front with Bolts in Black by Matthew Goyette

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good brakes, very bad pads

It has everything you need when you don't have brakes at all, and at a good price. The brake itself feels cheap, but is quite solidly made and quite functional. My only real complaint in this regard is that the paint scratches so easily that it's unlikely that many people will be able to operate and adjust the brakes without visible marks. The real problem with this set is that the material the pads are made of is so hard that it can't snag enough on the rim to really stop it no matter how you adjust the brake or how hard you push . I expect a new set of pads will work just fine, but this set out of the box isn't exactly safe to use.

Pros
  • Solid workmanship
Cons
  • Not automatic
