Review on SHIMANO Ultegra BR R8010 Direct Caliper by Douglas First

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than most bike brakes and parts

I have tried several different direct mount brakes including one from Sram and one from TRP. This brake actually works as intended and was a snap to install. A few suggestions: If you are having trouble getting the non-drive side brake pad to not rub against the wheel, try using a thinner shim or no shim at all under the brake shoe. Use a torx for the adjustment screw, not a hex head.

Pros
  • Manufacturer warranty: 2 years
Cons
  • Not reliable
