Pwede kya boss s sti grx yng mt200 n caliper?

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello po. Hindi po ako sure sa gravel levers pero if same specs po ng hose, more or less gagana po yan.

[@georgeoikonomou6939]

With the m6100 levers, there is a gap between the clamp (of the lever brake) and the grip. The result is that the shifter lever are slightly further away from the fingers, which makes it more difficult to change gears...

[@enriquezcustom]

Yes. To be precise, the difficulty is with the pull trigger but I did not have any issues using push levers for shifting. I seldom use the pulling feature or shimano.

[@knightsljx]

The new i spec EV brakes all have this irritating problem. I mounted the shifters closer to the grips instead. But the downside is that you're left with 1-finger braking

[@adrianangelodebelen9262]

Sir ask konlang if until now gamit nu pa din sya? Gnwa ko kc yan parang ang lalim nung kapit nung break nya natama na sa daliri ko na nka grip, ganun din po ba sa inu?

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello po! we are still using this unit. Please see my latest video about the Weapon Tower 7 fork update. That unit has this set of brakes. No issues like that of yours. I will be posting soon an update for this very upgrade. Stay tuned.🎧💕

[@adrianangelodebelen9262]

Panu po kaya masosolusyunan un

[@enriquezcustom]

@adrianangelodebelen9262 Isa po sa mga solution ay ang pag full bleed ng system. nagawa nyo po ba ito? siguradohin po na wala nang bubbles na matitira sa loob para tight po at kakagat agad sa kunting pihit ng lever.

I have used this groupset on my polygon siskiu d5 bike ... steady and comfortable to use in all terrains

[@enriquezcustom]

I can't disagree. 😍 Stay safe and well!

[@SpecializedP2Ler]

Did the same thing but got the calipers aswell. Hoping the BH59 holds up as shimano recommends the BH90. Im sure it'll be fine

[@808StreetKillaz]

Hello, I was wondering if you still are using this same lever upgrade since you've installed it? I would like to know how much of a difference the lever change has done? How does it feel compared to the mt200 lever? Does it engage kinda the same? Does it have a softer feel or does it feel exactly like the mt200(stiffer)? Reason I'm asking is because I have some people tell me I wont like the feel of it compared to mt200 lever... please lmk, thanks!

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello, The same set of levers are still my ever reliable pair at the moment since installed. This is one of the best upgrades I made and the feel is far superior than the regular MT200 levers. Although the Calipers are still MT200, I will somehow forget due to the diffirence in performance just by changing the levers only. Also this was my first impression and proven. I'm not planning to change may brake sets for a while. More than enough for my needs. Stay safe always.

[@kimbo1]

Does your shifters reach? I bought these brakes and my shifter doesn't reach as the extra support in pulling lever pushes it to far away.

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello. I had a hard time pulling the shifting triggers with this brake levers due to the short allowance it gives to I got used of pushing both all the triggers to shift up and down.

[@paoloelias9478]

Hello Enriquez, i can use a m6100 right lever (generally front), with a mt420 rear caliper?

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello. Yes. Ordinarily it will work also.

[@braveheart0317]

Wala kaba plan mag palit ng bh90 boa me improvement pa sa braking performance?

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello po. Same set up parin po until now, very good performance parin po. Not planning to change.

[@alexanderresurreccion6710]

good day sir,kamusta naman po sya after neto maikabit?goods naman po ba?ano po nag iba sa feel compare sa stock na lever ng mt200?

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello. As of now po, still in good condition and will do an update video po sa performance nya.

[@Arqzui]

Hello. I want a Shimano Deore MT6000, but do i need an other brake caliper for that i now have a elvedes hp4000 en the lever is not that good so if i have a deore would it be good or do i need a whole new brake system.

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello.. In this upgrade, I only had to change the levers with Deore. The Calipers are still my old pair MT200.. They are both shimanos and works well together. 😁 You can use Only the deore levers and different calipers if you may. Stay safe always..

[@enriquezcustom]

Anytime. 👌 Stay safe always!🙏

[@kashmirpedals]

Hey .. Nice Video... I'm just planning to upgrade from m200 with Deore m6100 but I just need ur suggestion in this regard... I'm planning to change Lever + caliper as well but won't change rotor as of now .. I have 180mm front n 160mm back .. if I do that will that Increase breaking power because I'm not going to upgrade rotor... Just wanted to make share it would value my hard earned money if I do this upgrade... Thanks

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello. As long as the installation goes well, the breaking feel will greatly improve as well as the power due to ease of squeezing the levers.

[@kashmirpedals]

@@enriquezcustom Thank U

[@chubscoi]

Hmmmmm. Without needing to change the brake hose, calipers and fittings, just the levers, this should be a possible upgrade for me. Nice video! Never thought of this

[@enriquezcustom]

Glad to share with you. Stay well.

[@LeandroDifalco]

hello, Did you change the caliper too?

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello. Calipers and cables are retained. Since the old brakeset was shimano, all I did was change the fittings to connect the lever. Stay safe.

[@thescandiflick]

Hey Enriquez I tried this today and my rear brake is spongy still , i just did a lever swap and didn’t replace the fittings as my brakes are totally new. Maybe the right fittings make a difference.

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello. Have you tried fully bleeding out old oil and replacing with new one. Also excess air bubbles in the caliper aside from lever may cause the spongy feel. Stay well always.

[@Mcmartinshreds]

thank u for this vid because i am now gonna buy these

[@enriquezcustom]

Sure friend. I will also update this 3 year performance of this upgrade.🔥🔥🔥

[@wallydenila6573]

[@Rex_Schnizer]

Hi po matanong ko lng pwede po ba sa Mt200 levers yung Deore 4 piston na Callipers?😁

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello po. Same theory lang po sa Levers. As long as tamang Fittings lang po gamitin nyo sa pag lagay. Small advice lang po, remove muna pads before mag install ng hose sa caliper kasi macocontaminate ng oil yung pads at tutunod/mawawalan kagat yung brake. sana po nakatulong. stay safe.

Sir, need din bq ibleed sa calipers kapag bago ang brakeset or kahit s levers lang po?? Salamat po..

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello po.. pag mag papalit po ng Levers, no need na po full bleed unless gusto nyo po talaga palitan lahat ng oil. kahit levers lang po kasi empty po sya before installation kaya kelangan lang po punoin..

[@jahzielaligaga8742]

Boss yung slx ko spongy sa rear pero yung front okay naman sya, sinubukan ko pinagpalit yung hose umayos naman yung rear hinde naging spongy tapos sa front naman yung spongy, ano kaya ang dahilan? Naka ilang bleed na kasi ako

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello po. I have the same issue, Rear/right lever, solved with changing the lever piston. But in my case, nadamage po yung rubber gasket ng piston due to little dirt while bleeding. Also, natry nyo na po ba Bleeding from the calipers? Minsan po kasi, nasa caliper yung bubbles. Stay safe po always.

@@enriquezcustom Cool thanks for the reply.

[@Minimula]

Hi, this video is super helpful. I just took delivery of my new M6100 levers but my existing M420 levers use the same fittings. Does this mean I don't need to install a new olive etc? Thinking I can just pull out of the old and put into the new, then bleed?

[@enriquezcustom]

Hello po. I'm sure it is possible to just transfer your cables without changing the fittings. I've done it in other units. Only if: the existing fittings are not squeezed to bits or broken of sort. This is often seen in 1st time pulled out cables. After the transfer, you will just need to bleed the levers to fill them with oil. 😁 Then check if the fittings are leaking.. Please note that the rubber ends are different, you might have to find some way to swap them somehow. You can use the one from the other lever. they are of the same fit I guess. Stay safe always.

[@Minimula]

@@enriquezcustom thanks dude, so I did both brakes yesterday. Front feels real good but the back is super spongy with a really late bite point. I must have spent an hour flicking the lever at various angles, no air bubbles coming out. Thinking that one may need a full bleed?

[@enriquezcustom]

Yes. one possible problem is the air thru the caliper which caused the spongy feel. We can eliminate that thru full bleeding. I'm really glad to gear the success of your project. 👏💕

Its not leaking any oil out, as long as we properly tight the lock screw in to sqeeze the fittings well.

[@enriquezcustom]

I'm pleased. I made some tweaks like cutting the end of the tube fitting to have proper length for the fitting to go inside the lever cage. I highly recommend using specific fittings to match our upgrades. 😁 Hydraulic hose does not matter with both BH90 and 59 tho.

[@vanhelsing1143]

so...there's no difference with the braking power just the lever feel? TIA

[@enriquezcustom]

😁 It depends on our definition of power po. Well for me, the over all influence of the lever made the whole set BETTER. and thats power for me, not only the Kagat ng brake pads on the disk. Otherwise, lever shouldn't be included on a brake-set. No regrets on this upgrade. God bless.
