Review on SHIMANO T4000 Front V-Brake - Enhanced with Sleek Black Finish by Devon Holmes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tektro brakes exchanged!

I'm repairing my Trek 7200 Hybrid that came with Tektro V-Brakes (Linear Pull). I needed new brake pads and wanted to try the Kool-Stop Hybrid pads but saw this with the new pads and thought I might as well upgrade my brakes. For just a few dollars more, they offer better stopping power than my Tektros have ever done! I can only imagine what they can do with Kool-Stops when those Shimano pads wear out. Installation was very easy! Pros: Better stopping power than the atelttis they use with the bike. : The pad adjuster does not have a hex head or even a hex nut. (Solved by taking my hex nut off my Tektros) If you are looking to replace pads on a set of low quality v-brakes, or are looking to replace v-brakes in general at this price point, this is a great deal.

Pros
  • Efficient design with little effort
Cons
  • Out of fashion
