Powerful Brakes
Plush and powerful, big upgrade over mechanical and I went with a bigger rotor and adapter. A little tricky to get it lined up perfectly with the included washers but pretty straightforward. Leave the plastic tab in until you're ready to drop in the wheel and tighten the cable last, just enough to take up slack. Finally, tighten attachment bolts after centering the caliper by pushing the brake lever. Do not activate the brake without something separating the pads, eg. the yellow tab or your brake rotor. Follow bed in procedure, and voila you have great looking and powerful brakes. Can't comment on durability since I just installed, but I will update later. I would recommend these, especially at this price. Pretty much plug and play. I also read somewhere that you don't tighten the cable as you would with the mechanical brake after the pads have worn in, instead use the barrel adjuster which is above the brake cable where it attaches to the caliper. Very nice looking and an inexpensive upgrade. Zero noise and impressive stopping power.

Very impressive on the Rad Rover!!
Fit on my Rad Rover with no issues! Much better stopping power now! 2 rides into using it and very impressed. There are some frequent reviews on the oring leaking but will keep an eye on it. Also, simple fix if they do leak with a new oring.

Good inexpensive replacement for mechanical breaks.
These cable actuated hydraulic brakes were a good replacement for my straight mechanical breaks. You can feel the difference in stopping power. I don't know how they compared to full hydraulic brakes because i've never had those on a bicycle. However, these are much better than the mechanical ones to bike came with.

Worst Brake System I've Ever Encountered
These ZOOM Hydraulic Disc Brake Calipers are going to get someone killed. I live on a large hill and I am glad I did not go down the hill to test them out. Holding a tire off the ground and giving a wheel a spin and then hitting the brake lever - all seemed fine and the wheel stopped. But getting on the bike for a spin and then grabbing the brake levers - the brakes just don't work. And I mean scary bad. Grabbing both brake levers and squeezing as hard as I could and the bike barely slowed down. I bedded them and gave them several miles to see if they would get better and they did not. I took them back off and reinstalled the originals. I now have brakes again. I absolutely do NOT recommend these extremely dangerous calipers.

Works well with the Mercane Wide Wheel Pro. Significant upgrade over the stock brakes.

The best money i have spent on my bike
I have an Ozark Trail G1 which is notorious for having bad brakes. The install was relativity easy. And now my bike stops on a dime and it stops hard. If I could only do one upgrade to my bike, this would be it.

Nice upgrade from stock breaks
I got these to replace the stock brakes on a Jasion Retrovolt e-bike. Installation was straightforward and they definitely made a difference in stopping power. The red looks great on the black bike, too!

So far so good, instructions would have been nice
I've only taken a few rides so far on my Sondors electric fat tire bike. The stock brakes didn't last long at all, and I was having trouble locating new pads for them. Saw these, and I do enjoy my hydraulic brakes on my Giant Talon, and since I didn't have to switch out the cable pulls, heck yeah let's give 'em a try.They arrived in a plain box, with two plain boxes inside.No instructions, no web address listed on either box, just brakes, and bolts. The only instruction on the product page said to NOT REMOVE THE YELLOW SPACERS. Now I've swapped out brakes before, but I got a little confused - like, how do I slide the pads over the disc if I don't take out the YELLOW SPACER?So off to YouTubew, found an english bloke, who yanked out that yellow tab, slid the brakes over the disc, and his world didn't end. So I followed suit and everything went fine. I think what they mean is to not pull out the yellow spacer, and actually actuate the brake by pulling the arm back.That could have been more clear. And, really-– safety gear should always have proper instructions, and brakes are literally the piece of gear that stops you from launching off a cliff, or doesn't, so they should really have proper instructions.Other than that, I have enjoyed very smooth and confident stops.
