Review on 🚴 Shimano BR-T4000 Rear V-Brake in Sleek Black for Enhanced Cycling Performance by Adam Rossi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent and easy to use.

All accessories included. The brake pads were very easy to fit, mount and tighten. I like the long brake pads as the lever makes it easy to prevent unwanted spinning when finally tightening. The brakes were easy to install, adjust and use. They worked great and didn't creak at all. The spring tension screws (and my lever barrel adjuster) quickly centered the levers for smooth and quiet action. Shimano brakes are vastly superior to non-adjustable ones and it's impossible to center the no-name brakes on my hybrid bike. The noodles stayed in place during installation, unlike a cheap, low quality brake mount that was so wide the noodles kept popping out. I wish bike manufacturers would just use good components and not horrible imitations that take hours and hours of work and still end in failure and uselessness.

Pros
  • Designed for smooth and quiet braking
Cons
  • Good but not great
