CLARKS CRS 4 PISTON BRAKES: Initial Impressions

[@kenetics1344]

Look just like the IIIpro e4 brakes

[@NonLegitNation2]

yeah, I can't remember if it's Clark's or Hayes which has been accused of just blatantly ripping off Hope in terms of the brake lever and caliper design. And then the Mpro or IIIpro brand ripped them off.

[@k0k0w]

If it bleeds the same way, it probably is the same thing. Hopefully internals (pistons, seals and diaphragms) aren't the same.

[@ninjazzrhythm400]

Yeah but also the older model too. I have the neewer version of this from iii pro

[@davegravitt210]

A new Clarks Clots. 😂. Watch out for that tree!!! Lol😊

[@robertsilva5041]

I just finished 203mm rotors front and rear.. zitto hydraulic brakes. When it came to running the internal cable. I took the tip cap off the cable, stuffed inside the new hydraulic line kit. Duct tape it with a little space for flexibility, then pull it from the bottom up. Total success and I didn't have to buy that magnet line tool. 😂. First time ever. Works way better than cables. Love your channel 😁

[@ryanmccormack2458]

TRPs bracket is the best I've used. There is no pin to remove, it just opens with the one screw that's used to tighten it.

[@gregnowak2492]

Nice install! Brakes look good. Such a difference with the 4 pots. Looking forward to the RTR as usual!

[@dennisfloyd8514]

I agree, the new tires make the bike look better.

[@mikeburgh3956]

Can't wait for the RTR, Especially for the brakes 🤙🏻 Ps, tick ain't never ran into a wall!!!! Lies!!!! 😂

[@KeoOutdoors]

I totally forgot I sent those pedal's lol. thanks for the mention, I'm trying to get some more stuff out to you guys one of these days!

[@NonLegitNation2]

19:35 wolfman's 100% correct. i bought some Hope floating rotors which cost $85 a piece and both of mine rubbed for a while. Infact i bought one direct from Hope that was pretty badly warped and my local bike shop couldn't even completely straighten it.

[@ninjazzrhythm400]

Sorry but your bike shop probably didnt have the right tool. I mean the proper tool and they probably just have the brake rotor lever to bend it. They also need a dial gauge and stand to do it properly.

[@LebronPhoto1]

Those look like great brakes. Looking forward to the real time review.

[@raulespinoza5819]

Looks like the IIIPRO E4 / ZRACE brakes.

[@timesup6386]

Meroca brakes should be reviewed

[@cunvericht]

Great episode as always. If you throw on the 9 speed freewheel, you should have a Sunrace M9 group to use with it.

[@theshonen8899]

FYI these are the same as the IIIPro E4 brakes on Aliexpress. I have tried them and they look phenomenal but are not reliable, the brake levers start leaking oil. I swapped the levers but the caliper's bite point starts moving outwards no matter how many times I bleed them. Shimano M6120 brakes are not that much more expensive but I've ran them for > 2 years and they're incredible, they work better than my XT M8120's which have inconsistent bite point issues.

[@willardbuchanan9122]

The Wolfman is back LOL

[@k0k0w]

Will you do a comparison with the IIIpro e4 brakes prior to the next EP?

[@ninjazzrhythm400]

Iii pro, lewis and Clark's are all made by the same company

[@josephpapaianni9807]

Can you guys look into trying out a Marino Siqay, the off the shelf full suspension bike that Marino makes? It’s the cheapest full suspension bike with a steel frame by like 3x. Does it have 3x the value? Recently found your channel, like your guys’ style. Keep it up.

[@armandocardenas6094]

Put them on the Salvo, please.

[@ShredBikesPetKitties]

I've been looking for some affordable 4pots for my trials bike. They have to be super bitey. Do you think these will work?

[@joefoster259]

I think the cheaper links are for a single brake

[@willardbuchanan9122]

Are you going to test that on cat's meow❤

[@solobellimino2356]

If they are true floating rotors then thats what is self centering.

[@RockMumbles]

Wow

[@armandocardenas6094]

Jeremiah, I sent you a set of 4 piston brakes that you don't have to do anything to ( Tektro Orion ).

[@jpvanniekerk3975]

These are all the same brakes made by the same chinese company. Problem is finding replacement brake pads.Seems the only alternative to the original pads are Hope E4 pads which outside of the UK are not so easy to find.

[@arobledo6398]

Need to go tubeless

[@nicholaskontitsis8527]

Hey guys. I know this thread doesn’t pertain to the Aggressor Pro, but I have a question about it. I hope you and my friends here in Wolftick Nation can help. I have a GT Aggressor Pro I bought last year. I went down the rabbit hole of KZbin videos of people that have upgraded them and I want to do the same. But every bike shop I visit says the same thing, ‘don’t bother, because by the time you add all the parts you will be almost at the price of buying a new higher end bike that already has those upgrades’. I’m in Canada so the bike cost around $750 CDN to begin with. Here where I need all your help. Are all the bike shops here talking crazy? Or are they right, I may as well not touch it and just buy a higher end bike? Coincidentally, I was on a 16km ride today and the crank bolt came undone. Stripped the bolt so now I’m $150 CDN to get a new Shimano crank set. Curious to hear your thoughts folks.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

If you're into upgrading, I think you'll end up with a pretty sweet bike, and you can spread the cost over time. If you are ok with spending a large amount of money all at once, then you can just go for the "better" bike. If you keep the GT and replace the crankset, you could get an IXF for pretty cheap. If you go IXF try to get some aluminum spacers rather than the plastic ones that you sometimes get with the IXF these days. When we have ordered IXF cranksets, it's been about a 50-50 split if they come with plastic or aluminum spacers. The GT is a good bike, but the biggest drawback is definitely the 34-34 headtube. Remember that most entry-level bike shop bikes will still have parts that you will want to upgrade pretty quickly. Not sure if y'all have Walmarts with the same bikes in your area, but there are some good options for around $300 to $500 dollars american that come with tapered headtubes.

[@DanWebb8080]

Ive got an ixf crank on my gt avalanche works just as well as shimano deore would get a shimano bottom bracket tho they are smoother and last longer, if you go for 1x i highly recomend deore m5100 derallieur it works with 10 or 11 speed wide range cassettes and low price plus shimano shifters feel great, the avalanche has got a tapered head tube but im still running the suntour boat ancor and non boost qr dropout seems limiting on wheel upgrades factor all that in against a new bike like a high spec trek roscoe or top fuel on sale the parts on those bikes cost more than the complete build that being sed i still love the gt and will do a few more upgrades

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

Those brakes cost more than the whole bike

[@DanWebb8080]

Dan webb uk Front brek belongs on the right you damn yanks can have your tiny 470 odd mil pints drive on the wrong side of the road and say aluminum wrong but the breaks are correct when are you going to get it right im so mad bloody ride a motorbike with the breks the wrong way kgs lbs oz,uk oz,us mm " ass bckwards love the banter
