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 Will Carey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great bang for the buck! These brakes work great on my older mountain bike.

These brakes are all most people are ever going to need if you are just a casual mountain biker keeping your speed reasonably low. I do ride a little bit of downhill and these brakes perform great and don't fade/overheat for what i use them for. I am on an old 26" wheel full suspension bike for some context. Some of the newer bikes with the larger diameter wheels may need better brakes for downhill riding. These are basic entry level brakes but they do what they're supposed to and do it well. Make sure you do a few stops to bed them in before you bomb it down a hill though or they won't bite. Also make sure you tighten the mounting bolts up good. Mine came loose midway through a ride. These have a complete lack of adjustment but you get what you pay for and honestly I personally don't need any. I think you'd have a hard time finding something better for the price. I highly recommend these to any casual biker on a budget.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Could be difficult to find replacement brake pads
