Review on CYCEARTH Bicycle Shimano Hydraulic Professional by Matt Chirila

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Be sure to enter the correct brake manufacturer!

Judging by the characteristics of my bike, I should have installed Tektro hydraulic brakes on my bike. Upon checking the rear brake pads (rear brake not working), the pad shape did not match any of those available on the market or on the Tektro website. I also checked out their high end range (TRP) to see if they use even higher quality parts but they don't match the TRP products. made this kit pretty much useless for my maintenance needs. Luckily I also ordered another highly recommended upgrade kit that included the parts I needed. I only used two items from this kit, one of the best syringes (two types included, one for the new fluid and one for the bleed side) and a hose clamp. Pros 1. The syringes in this kit were probably cheap compared to other kits with reinforced plungers etc, but they worked better with no leaks or air bubbles. Cons 1. Beware buyers, be careful - identify your brakes before you buy (in my case I had nothing to rely on as there were no identifying marks anywhere on the brakes themselves - no manufacturer name, no serial number, no model number - nothing ) 2. Please note that this kit does not include brake fluid.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • I really don't like it, everything is fine
