🚲 Catazer MTB Road HB-100: Efficient Hydraulic Disc Brake Calipers for Mountain Bikes, E-Bikes Review

They look neat, but the idea is intriguing. They were easy to install and set up. However, that was where it all ended. On the bike I had Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes which worked very well. Avid could almost stand at the end and the rear wheel could slip. Thought those cable operated hydraulic brakes would work even better. Not right! The front brake stopped the bike with a slight push of the lever, while the rear brake just slowed the bike down. I drove a few miles and slammed on the…

bought these to upgrade the mechanical disc brakes on my fat tire e-bike. Easy to assemble but took a little longer to adjust the back. Front brake efficiency has improved significantly, and the rear seems about the same. The bike is heavy (the battery eBike weighs over 55 pounds) and I'm not skinny so there's a lot of stopping. These do their job well. A cheap upgrade delivers great results. It remains to find pads for them. To update. Bought another set for my 20" Ecotric Folder. Even easier…

I've replaced the mediocre mechanical disc brakes on my cargo e-bike and it's definitely an improvement. Improved braking power and it is easier to avoid friction as both pads move and not just one pad like most mechanical disc brake calipers do. The only reason I gave these 4 stars and not 5 stars is because they are a "closed" system, not self centering like an "open" system caliper. Actually I would give them 4 1/2 stars if I could. I would rate them as follows: not as good as a fully…

The mechanical brakes on my e-bike kept squeaking. I figured it was the best of both worlds so I installed them. It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to get her to stop my bike. I took the bike to a bike shop to have it adjusted and checked. They were concerned about how hard you had to pull the levers to get them to turn on. Even after ridiculously pulling the brake levers and changing the pads, they didn't actually stop my bike. They slowed him to shore. It got very dangerous and I…
