Chinese Compressionless Brake Housing?

(1/2) > >>

Hi Everyone!

Speccing my first China build, and the goal is to get as close to 100% China branded as possible.
One place where I have had no luck is non compressible brake housing.
I will be running cable actuated hydraulic disk callipers, and understand non compressible housing improves performance.

I will be internally routing, so those segmented metal housings are out of the question. 

Any recommendations? Or am I stuck with Yokozuna or Jagwire?

Thanks!

Are you using the ZTTO/ZRACE calipers? If so, definitely let us know how they perform for you.

I went for (hopefully better performing) Tektro/TRP brakes with Jagwire KEB-SL housing. Still waiting for my frame though ...

Not the classical compressionless, but maybe an option?

I am going with the Taiwanese Juin Tech GT-F.
I know, "Chinese" but not exactly "China"
But I have not heard a bad thing about these calipers, so on the parts list they go. 

Also tires.  Have not heard of a good tubeless tire coming out of China yet.

Thanks. I checked these out too, but I reckon they can't be internally routed, or if they can I will lose 10 years of my life due to frustration
