I Bought Mountain Bike Disc Brakes from AliExpress... and Didn't Die?! | Shimano MT200 Review

[@fat.chance]

mt200's are such a good brake for the money, we fit them all the time to replace old disc brakes, cheaper than a bleed and new pads lol

[@benmillns8976]

They're not fake, they're OEM stock

[@ricardomorais4356]

*I'm very happy with my **Latest.Bike** . I have put a lot of miles on it, paved trails, gravel, sand, and it rides great. Thank you for a quality product.*

[@mopas5195]

Hey dude, I have same bike as yourself, santa cruz bullit, I was bit worried it's gonna be to heavy for them brakes but seeing you here and not complaining made my choice, thanks

[@peterbaskind9872]

For budget brakes, the MT200 brakes are amazing. No; they are not suitable for hard core downhill, but for a commuter or a fitness hybrid, they are great value -- powerful enough with a nice lever feel. A lot of entry level bikes come with Tekto M275 brakes or equivalent. The Shimanos are a definite step up.

[@xx-----------xx873]

They are good enough for Fort William (World cup DH track) with 200mm rotors and ceramic pads, in my experience.

[@JaysScript]

Would you say an upgrade from the Clark's hydraulic brakes?

[@peterbaskind9872]

@@JaysScript I can’t say that I know those brakes. But if you do not like them, the MT200 brakes might be a good choice.

[@syedzgaming]

Every bike I had or test ridden, with Tektro hydraulic brakes had brake rub. If you inspect closely, you will see part if the piston exposed, probably not bled correctly from factory, which causes tolerance between calipers and rotor to be very low, causing rub.

[@frank8278]

Actually they are great for freeriding too. I am riding a 2022 Rocky Mountain Growler 40 and i have both the MT200 and BR6100. When you are riding in the Pacific Northwest where i am located, it really does not matter a lot since trails are always wet throughout the year so both brakes have the same stopping power lol.

[@sramvokermvp278]

The SHIMANO MT200's are max rated for trail use. For Enduro use, the SHIMANO DEORE's 2-Piston brakeset are optimal and for DH, their 4-piston is the right job for it.

[@amemus1]

For me both of my shimano mt200 callipers started having a leaky piston and my brakes always kept getting contaminated

[@gwynnjason]

The thing with cheap hydraulic brakes, they have cheap pads, just replace them with branded ones.

[@akira5982]

I tell people the same thing when i see them buying these cheap shitty brake pads & chinese tyres 4 there cars 🤨 what pads & tyres r u using on ur car 🤔

[@gravelpit4201]

The brakes are so fckn good for the price that scott is putting them on all rheir bikes priced up to 3500

[@arielkoval2459]

Because deore and over Shimano parts out of stock.

[@alexandruc.popescu5534]

I use them for XC and given my weight they are so good i don't feel the need to upgrade them.

[@harrisis619]

If i replace the brake pad does it still makes the annoying screaming noices?

[@void_presence]

the new bike I ordered (being assembled now) came with these. Good video..But..."leaving my bike outside overnight when it was wet out..."...what? tip #1, don't leave your bike outside overnight, period. :D

[@TC-ut1tw]

Hi Dreki, I'm in East coast of Canada and I'm wondering how long these took to arrive, and did you have to pay any taxes,duties, brokerage fees,etc?

[@DrekiTech]

If you ship a standard post service (ie: aliexpress standard, china post tracked, sing post), due to the pndemic, you can expect 30-90 days at present (most likely 60-90 honestly). Standard post does not have taxes/duties/brokerage normally. It can happen, but is unlikely. I don't think ePacket will be much faster even though ordinarily it is. Right now not many flights are happening so post is slooooow. EMS may be faster but no guarantees right now. Also you will not likely have fees. They can still happen but it's unlikely. If you ship by DHL it will be much faster however you will definitely have to pay $25-40 in those fees.

[@TC-ut1tw]

@@DrekiTech Wow, thanks for the detailed breakdown. I expected things to be slow, but 90 days! I might have to eat the fees to get them before the season is over.. By the way, what is EMS?

[@leoross8088]

Mine arrived in barely 3 weeks! (I’m in Montreal) but to be fair, it really varies with aliexpress. It can be 2 weeks as it can be 2 months

[@chrisbalanda9368]

I press the left leaver then the right If my brakes don't Don't ride it

Hello i need brakes that blocked my wheel have they enough power ?
