6 months later and the price is up $20. Still better then the mt200 for $179. I paid $63 for the zoom last week and now they are up to $68.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Way better for the price I agree. We have been lucky and stole some for around $54!! But the Zooms on the Taff have been giving us some issues and may take a look at installing some cheaper alternatives.

[@kaycee4765]

Hey. Living here in Philippines and decided to go back on biking. And it really shocked me by the price of shimano sets right now and its not always available here. So its kinda lit that you review this kind of brands. And by accident i got this zoom breaks and it really make an awesome job. I can recommend this to those who are not much hard core on monstrous trails.

Nice video and thanks for sharing, i bought these a couple of days ago and i've only tried them so far around the garden, but to be honest i'm quite impressed. They did arrive with the levers inverted, in Europe we use the front brake on the left and viceversa the back on the right but i didn't swap them, i can live with that! I've found out that they use SHIMANO A01s brake pads. It's good you actually review and try out these sort of products, not everybody can afford the boutique stuff!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well thats AWESOME you can understand our channel!!! Feels good man, now the zooms are pretty good and really hell of a deal man, glad you got some!

May be brake fade from heat build up. One cause is the small rotors getting hot and not cooling fast enough, plus the fluid gets hot causing a "mushy" feel.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well John sounds like you NAILEDit ha ha, didnt think about that but man I believe with some better rotors and these brakes may be very diamond in the rough:)

[@mtbboy1993]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS have you checked the rotors? As John mentioned, overheating can do this, so check the rotors and brakes, if they are hot, it's clearly overheating, and floating rotors make a difference, so do bugger rotors, but a con of floating rotors is that after years of use the rivets creak. If you get anew rotors go for many small venting holes, no big holes, you should have more braking surface, more venting holes thus better cooling and bite. So far the brake rotors that has this done to the limit is Brake-stuff, even smaller and more holes than my hope rotors, they don't do floating rotors, but many small holes. I know Hope rotors perform well, cus I have them, but I am sure Brake Stuff rotors will perform well too

[@chadlafrennie4065]

I put those brakes on my hyper explorer build a couple months ago and they have been flawless.the stopping power is insane compared to the mechanical discs they replace. My only complaint is that the levers are a little on the loosey goosey side and rattle slot when you are on bumpy terrain without your fingers on them.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hmmmm....I havent noticed yet but we will see after some time of riding and getting them broken in man. Thanks for sharing and yes they are tons better than the stock cable bakes and way cooler!!!:) Appreciate you CHAD

[@NonLegitNation2]

Revisiting this video to say that yesterday i got rid of my Zoom hydraulic brakes and went with Shimano MT200s, and to be honest I'm not impressed with the shimanos, I liked the lever design better on the zooms, plus these MT200s are pretty spongy, even after bleeding them. In terms of stopping power I haven't notice any improvement with the MT200s, to me it feels the same as the Zoom brakes. I kind of wish I had stayed with the Zoom brakes, but I am changing the color scheme on my GT Aggressor Pro to all black and the red Zoom brakes didn't look right with everything else being black. I guess it's a good thing I only paid $80.00 total on the back and fronts from my LBS, I know a certain seller on Amazon sells them at a premium for $120.00 which is ridiculous.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Very ridiculous price man, what about trying the merocas? We are going to film a video with all budget bikes vs each other. But very interesting to know you feel the zooms are better...

RUJOI sent me the same brakes on my last order for rotes on Amazon.com. I installed them on the Axum (2021 black & blue) and they too came European style Front Right/Left Rear, but they came perfectly sized so I didn't mess with the switch. Thanks for the feedback before on the X-Tech brakes. You have a very positive vibe and I wish you heaps of success with your programming. I am riding streets and gravel trails so I am not constantly on the brakes, but huge improvement with these inexpensive hydraulic brakes from the stock mechanical brakes on most big box bikes! Turning the Axum into an e-bike tomorrow. Happy Easter!

[@svengaard3117]

As a diesel mechanic we deal with entrained air in fuel as an issue, I have had the same brake issue described and found entrained air in low end fluid the culprit, similar feel. Not confidence inspiring.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Gotcha man, they kind of have a sponginess to them after a long ride. Then after they sit they seem to kinda come back

[@jeffbergford4724]

These brakes need a special adapter to bleed. The Shimano kit will not fit these. I use this one (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073P8M41K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It has fittings for all different brands of brakes. Just be careful of the plastic fittings. I snapped one off while doing a bleed and it is a pain to get it out of the master cylinder.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Dude thank you, we will be looking into this for SURE!! Appreciate it man:)

[@timvansteenburgh8389]

Well I'm relieved now after telling you how great they worked for me i realized you have mountains where you live im in Texas so kinda flat and i must have the right amount of air in mine after talking to you and actually finding the bleed screw I think I'm going to leave alone main thing I liked about them is I didn't end up with the on off feel

Shimano once used those for most deore and higher grade brakes you can get ceramic, metallic, resin, copper, aluminum back metallic pads try using shimano or magura mineral oil if that doesn't work get plane mineral oil or even baby oil

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hmmm...that's interesting man. I would love to get some really good pads!!

[@mtbboy1993]

8:22 the issue you are describing can be caused by leaking seals, so air gets in the system, might be tiny fluid leak or no fluid leak, but a lot of air in system for sure, which gets moved to thee top when you are on and off and on and off as you say, but then you ride and thee bubbles move in the system, and and the brake gets spongy.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Need to do a once over and check, you are right with the spongy feeling, hope its just some trapped air? :)

I think they are a good option for Commuter bikes, and easy trail riding. I'd say they are a bargain at the price point, you just have to figure out if you'll need a more consistent feeling setup for your riding style. These have been perfect on my Mongoose Ripsaw.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Good t know man and glad you have them as well. I will try and bleed them again if I can get a proper bleed kit, then I will see how they do for a round TWO!

Hey sir. I got questions about tire size. How to know what size(width) of tires that can fit my budget krsec fork and strider frame both 27.5, and I'm using weinmann u32 rims. Planning to buy wtb vigilante 27.5x2.3.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey man that is kind of a hit or miss unless it's a boost fork. Now I ran a 2.6 upfront on my gt with the krsec forks. As fat as rim size is concerned WTB has a graph on rim size and compatibility you can look up as well. I usually go .2 bigger than recommended, but I don't recommend lol.good luck👍👍

Bro the 8th gear on my taff broke. Can I replace only that gear or do i have to get a whole free wheel. If i have to get a freewheel can i get a cassette instead without changing the back wheel?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well i fit broke I would call Schwinn, apparently they are good when it comes to contacting them direct, just not email, but you will have to get another freewheel or a new rear rim that has a freehub to either upgrade or just stick with an 8spd like you have then later upgrade to a bigger cassette.But try calling schwinn first man, hope they can help you out?

I would like to see an update after a proper bleed and new pad if you go that route. Also, what drivetrain are you using on your taff after the ltwoo chain bit the dust?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well that was filmed with the LTWOO, got another groupset we will let everyone know about:)

[@jacklo325]

Gotta say, the budget built taff held up really well, good job on that! Granted the mechanical requires about double the pressure on the lever than hydro, i still believe it's more reliable. Would you prefer hydro or mechanical?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks man and I would say hydro just because the strength difference. It doesn't ever feel like you will strip out a cable if you squeeze too hard!:) What do you prefer???

[@jacklo325]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah, i had some generic hydro, and much like you experienced on the trail w/the zoom, a few light brake action was fine. But the long hard braking the levers felt too soft. I had to pump it a couple times to build up the pressure. Maybe i didn't bleed them correctly. I feel like the old mechanical are more trustworthy, imo...

Yeah I mean they still do use the v-type:) So there must be something to old technology:) Thanks dude

That sounds like you are not bleeding it right, if a good brake become sponge after few second, that is air bubble in your system, this is the same way as you bleeding your car's brake, no question about it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well there is some question about it, because we are not 100% convinced that the brake is good. If you go back and watch the install video you will see that they had to send us a replacement rear brake due to a faulty seal. We have not had this problem with any other brakes that we have used and or tested thus far. We have bled these brakes two different ways and it still has a problem. We are going to try and bleed them one more time in a month or so and see what happens, so stay tuned.
