Review on JGbike Upgraded Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc Brake Set For Mountain Bikes: Ideal For XC Trail, E-Bike, And Fat Bike – The Ultimate Solution For A Mechanical Disc Brake Upgrade by Todd Calloway

I consider these hydraulic brakes entry level to mid level brakes. They work really well and they are not super expensive. They are a Great upgrade from any mechanical disk brakes I have had. An advantage of hydraulic brakes over mechanical brakes is that there's no need for constant adjustment due to wear of the pads or slipping/stretching brake cables. Also brake installation and alignment is easier than with the mechanical brakes. These brakes came with fluid and they were pre bled and ready to go. In the future at some point the brakes will probably need to be bled. I would recommend getting some mineral oil and a brake bleeding kit. If you need to cut the brake hoses to shorten them then you will need not only that, but also olives and inserts. You will need BH59 inserts for these brake hoses. If you are a beginner and have no mechanical experience I think most people can watch some YouTube videos and not have much of a problem installing the brakes. Cutting hoses, Bleeding the brakes, and the tools you will need are a little more in depth but not greatly difficult. I would definitely recommend these brakes. They are night and day compared to mechanical disc brakes, not only in performance but maintenance as well.
