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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Correct and easy, a real improvement.

Perfect fit, easy assembly, HOLY SMOKE, the difference to my old brakes is amazing! Can lock the rear wheel with little effort and still brakes in a controlled manner. I really had to use my old brakes to get a good grip. I've never installed bike brakes before, but I've fiddled with the old ones so much that I got it right. It was easy. The brakes have strong return springs and set screws to keep them from rubbing on the wheel. The pad setting is simple and well done. I like fixing an old bike, anyone can go to a bike shop, throw in some change and go out on a new bike, but that's recycling on your bike. Preferably.

Pros
  • 107mm arc
Cons
  • Something different
