ZTZ / JFOYH / MEROCA 4 Piston Hydraulic Brakes Realtime Review plus Mailtime!

[@TheJones_AZ]

I am glad to see the brakes performed well and I am looking forward to getting mine installed - just need to make the time. I would support a Patreon venture and wish you the best of luck!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks a bunch brother:) That is awesome of you to say and really hope they workout for ya on that SWEET GT!!

[@tmkeltner1]

Did my first trip with these brakes yesterday actually on a trail and I oh man can I tell a major difference in going from stock GT Aggressor brakes. For the price these are dang good especially considering we dont have any wicked black diamonds around.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Awesome! I am so glad they worked out for ya:) Totally worth the $82

[@chrishorbatt3504]

Just as a side note, those calipers use Shimano style 4piston pads so there are different compounds you could try.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

That is interesting, maybe a little changeup would be nice. Thanks Chris

[@joshwhatmough6014]

The pads from Clark’s m4 brakes are a straight fit, swap them on mine before I even fitted them to the bike

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

THANKS!!

Jeremiah loves KZbin shorts but I don't care too much for them. I'm beginning to think it's a age thing. Jeremiah also said he thinks Jack's voice is starting to get a little deeper😄. P.S.

[@IanMaddock]

I run the Meroca 2 piston brake - think they are called M800 - with Clark single piece rotors (180 f, 160 r). The Meroca brakes came pre assembled but were definitely better after fresh oil and a good bleed. I'd be interested to see a back to back with them to see how they stack up with the 4 piston calipers to see if it's a worthwhile upgrade to swap the 2 pot for 4 pot. .

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

That sounds very interesting man, you know it's funny I believe next video will be a pad swap and a bleed! Hope otngoes well, I hope for a night and day difference.

[@kylelc17]

I've got these mounted on my older dirt jumper. Upgraded the Hayes cable drawn. Replaced the rotors. Running 160mm. They do seem soft at first, but maybe that's just the bedding in process. They bite good tho. Starting to like them.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Nice man, they are a little hard to bed but really nice overall. They are doing well on the Axum

[@chrisjones7281]

WolfTicK !!!! Great review. I picked up a couple of sets for 2 projects I have going on for my son and I and also wanted to see how they compare to my SRAM GUIDES as they are also 4 piston. One thing you may have noticed is they come with Metallic pads while most budget brakes come with RESIN pads. Resin pads do have better initial bite but don't hold up very well to heat. Metallic pads on the other hand work better with heat and dont fade as fast, which is what is sounds like you were describing . BTW..I ride motorcycles too!! But I still like rear brake on the right. My brain knows the difference between Bikes and Motorcycles :) Love you guys. Always a entertaining Friday Vid!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man they are gonna be perfect!!Man thanks for the lesson on metallics! Very scientific!! LOL So glad you mount your brakes on the proper sides!! HA HA We almost had to ask you to leave!! Thanks a bunch man and very cool you and your boy are working together!!

[@EJ-V8Bikes]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yes he does and that's what's so great about it! It's pure innocent enjoyment!

[@MikeOn2Wheels]

The rotors are designed to have some movement just like floating motorcycle disc brake rotors. I can’t speak for these specifically because I don’t have them in front of me but typically the “rotor buttons” have a thin wavy washer under them so that that they are not tight like a fastener, allowing the outer disc to move separately from the inner mounting disc so that it “floats” and stays true as it spins through the pads in the caliper.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Fro sure man thank you for the lesson:) Dad told me all about the design as well:) I really felt the pad making contact throughout:)

[@faizalsansarona5240]

wow that god damn brakes works? Im so excited i already ordered mine too... Excited for quad brakes hehehehe love the review guys!!!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Wow that is impressive man, would love to try some! I ran about 30psi today on the GT (now tubeless) and it was way to high for the terrain, feels a little weird to go so low? Are you hitting rim at all even though you are running crush core??

[@mdgeist472]

They use floating rotors on sport bikes (motorcycles). Benefit is that the braking is still consistent with slightly bent rotors. For the rear, they make different adapters for larger rotors than the front adapters, so you have to check for that. I have Jerry rigged the brakes with spacers and that works fine too, but I wouldn't go too extreme with it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Completely understand man, thanks for the heads up! Just got a pic showing what some one ran:)

[@turnoverace6796]

Got them on my hardtail.love them. Woud use them on my full sus. But got longer and .

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

You got some!! Thats great:)

[@mtbboy1993]

11:00 the saddle might bend if it's that far back. Also the bend of the rails at the front might get damaged too. The saddle should never be out of the lines, not all saddles have it, but limit usually is 1cm/10mm away from the bend on each side. But still if you Slam but into the saddle or just are heavy you might bend the rails anyway.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man I must have buns of steel!LOL

[@vmoutsop]

Glad to hear the chain guide works so well. Now I’ll have to install my mine since you have tried it and it works. I wonder if they have different size bash protectors (accessory) to allow for more clearance on the bottom

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Gotcha man!! Thanks again and WOW!! I assume just not mount the basher guide?? It does hang down a little low....

[@chrishorbatt3504]

What procedure do you use to "bed in" the brakes?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

rolling about 15mph then slowing down to a walking pace, seperately using both brakes.

'I prefer two finger action'. That's what she said 😁 that one piece bar-stem combo looks great, but it's pure xc setup. I wonder will you like it. As much as I like riding xc bikes, not sure would I feel comfortable and safe with down angle of stem. As for brake setups, Brits use wrong left-right position of brake levers. Continental Europe and most of the world have front brake left, back brake right.

[@Lord_Vader_FL]

Please try to do a long term review on those I like what you said about these and I'm in the market for 4 piston brakes.... The levers are wierd and stick out far i have short fingers so i always set my brake levers to only be pulled by 1 finger so i set them over to where its natural to grab the tip of the lever with my index finger i love having 4 fingers at all times on my grips so i wonder if they could be adjusted to come in a little closer... I bet those brakes wear in in 2-3 more rides when a good chunk of that brake pad marries to the rotor it didn't seem like the calipers has heat spreaders wonder how far you could go before they get to the point they wouldn't work well.... Thank God no crashes but i did catch you almost go off that trail and almost go down what looks like a cliff stay safe cya Tuesday

BUT they work.. here in Cape Town we have 30'C or higher and dusty rocky trails with brutal bike breakers.. and these things have stopped me and save my ass.. I can say my MT - 201 were fine.. but these cheapies do the trick.. I took them apart to clean and they have stainless steel pistons too.. very good for cheap upgrade for everyday users that don't have Magura or Sram Or shimano Xtr money.

Hi there, nice review. will these brakes be an upgrade for my stock SRAM Level T brakes?

Hey brother thanks for the question and comment. Unfortunately I have never had those Srams...But I can tell you, these 4 pistons are similar to a beefier version of Shimano MT200S, which are 2 piston and cone stock on most entry level bike shop bikes. So if yours are similar to the sound of the Shimano, possibly??? They are pretty nice.

[@zydecbro]

all new brakes and or rotors start mushy in the beginning it's because they use a type of silicon to keep them from oxidizing while in storage, they make thousands at a time, best idea is to wipe the rotors down with 91% alcohol before first use

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Appreciate the tip man:) We always bed them in.....And in most cases we wipe em down:)

[@s14tat]

You were moving good. People upgrade to 4 pistons for added modulation and power. Maybe the feeling you are experiencing is just having a more linear increase in power. But 2 finger levers on a 4 piston setup is a head scratcher. What is the point of 4 piston brakes if you need two fingers to use them? That just takes more fingers off your grips and you get less control, more arm pump etc.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Very good point, they are strong and feel very good, but you are right....If you have to double finger them?? Hmmm lol

Have you guy bought the Meroca chainrings for shimano cranks yet? They look like XTR chainrings but will fit Deore and up 12 speed (6100, 7100, 8100, 9100).

I'm lovin my M4 Merocas so far. Is it normal to have to pre pump the levers to get them up to max? I'm tempted to bleed my front or add some fluid. Find my fronts slightly mushier than rear.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Really?? That is usually the other way around, I actually (when we had the zooms going), unscrewed the throw adjustment all the way and screwed it back in, it seemed to apply more pressure evenly....but it does not feel like that for us so far. Give it a go!

Tektro Vela brakes we have, have a lot of pad movement...

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ok, now I get it. thx. it would not surprise me if the higher end TRP would too. but not tried it. might take a look if some local has it. but some brakes don't have it. I've been told TrickStuff does not have pad play. but those brakes have 9 months wait. and cost a fortune. they are made in Germany. they are the most expensive brakes on the market. TrickStuff Picolla are the lightest xc brakes on the market. not tried them nor seen any in real life.

Between these and the factory mechanical brakes that came on my Walgoose X1 Ledge... what would you say? Are they lighter than the mechanical? I'm a bit of a weight weenie on a budget (hence the bike I have vs anything carbon fiber) I'm okay with swapping the left and right levers (hopefully I have the right tool). Just curious about the weight of a cable vs fluid mass. This Ledge weighs over 40lbs! And needs a diet. Haha! Thanks for your insight! 😇

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

No problem. We have a comparison video coming in a few weeks, so keep an eye out.

[@BMOutdoorz]

Do you notice the difference between 2 and 4 piston

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Very much so. With 4 piston you have to be careful not to go over the bars. It has quite a bit more force than a 2 piston on average.

[@almuntassermohammad6616]

awesome review on the brakes. I've been wondering how well it performs for a while now. nice to see someone actually test it out. Would like to know whether you would think this is better than a shimano mt400 dual piston for trails and even enduro?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thank you for watching man, now not too sure how they would do being out up to a mt400, we have mt420's and they will out brake these.

[@almuntassermohammad6616]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS awesome reply. one last thing, which one is better shimano mt200 or the meroca m4?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

@Almuntasser Mohammad if money is no factor, then I would say MT-200 for reliability and ease of bleeding. For the current price difference I would lean towards the Meroca's. Hope this helps.

[@almuntassermohammad6616]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS awesome input man, really appreciate it. Any recommendation for budget 140mm forks (130mm or 150mm is fine as well)? somewhere around 150$ or so.

Can you use pads with fins on the meroca m4 breaks?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Oooohhh??? Not too sure man, I believe they will take the Shimano style ones but not too sure 🤔

[@mtbboy1993]

6:10 these like the their frames are Scott copies. Mabye they are the ones who actually make the Scott parts who knows, but their frames are just little bit different. The bad thing with this bar is you can't adjust back and up sweep, so thi shas to suit the headangle and you perfectly, if it does not it will be horrible. So this is a race bike only setup. Not a swap to any bike setup.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Agree man, it is going to be interesting to see what they will fit on:) Wonder if we can flip them upside down??

[@mtbboy1993]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS upside down? 😁 No you can't do that., you can if you really want but that would be stupid. 😁 Reverse rise then, reverse backsweep, becoming front sweep, and up sweep becoming down sweep, getting you in a bodybuilder pose. 😁
