Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Catazer MTB Road HB-100: Efficient Hydraulic Disc Brake Calipers for Mountain Bikes, E-Bikes by Brent Shaeffer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's no good - it ends badly - don't bet your life or health they'll stop you!

They look neat, but the idea is intriguing. They were easy to install and set up. However, that was where it all ended. On the bike I had Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes which worked very well. Avid could almost stand at the end and the rear wheel could slip. Thought those cable operated hydraulic brakes would work even better. Not right! The front brake stopped the bike with a slight push of the lever, while the rear brake just slowed the bike down. I drove a few miles and slammed on the brakes hoping they would seat, but there was little improvement. Bottom line, the Avid mechanical brakes are back on the bike and I wasted nearly $50.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • not trendy
