Chinese hydraulic disk brakes - are there any worthwhile considering?
I didn't see too many brands, the only one was "Zoom", however, they look a bit like what Wal-Mart bikes have, they are in the US$30 range on AliX. I don't mind to spend quite a bit more.
Is there anything out there?
-
I'm interested, has anyone tried them?

the price are cheapest

These are really good, going to buy another 2 sets as back up/future builds.

Any chance you weighed them, @Icyseanfitz?

The description says "hinged lever clamp" but the pictures show otherwise. Are they hinged or not?

I haven't used the full Hydraulic version of the Zoom Brakes but had a pair of cable-actuated hydraulics on my steel frame gravel bike. They performed so well I hadn't actually noticed that they were cheap brakes. :P.

Just came across these, seems to be quite new as this is the only offer which already has some reviews.
Almost 200g lighter (if the declared weight is right) than Deore M6100, for less than half the price.

Interesting! Anything workable for road bikes /flat mount? Couldn't find any..

Learned recently that the ZRACE ones fade quite quickly when getting hot.
So I just ordered the ZTTO https://a.aliexpress.com/_mO7ZXwl
to try on a budget gravel.
Hybrid cable actuated + hydro end.
Looking forward for the first Sensah fully hydraulic !

I haven't seen any full hydro Chinese, as that would require specialized brifters, but I've heard nothing but good things about these cable actuated hydros

I have been thinking about a solution to getting hydro braking on a sensah groupset. Swapping out the shifters and brake calipers for 105 ones should do the trick. I plan to try it soon. It is an expensive upgrade and will double the cost of the groupset. I could also try the dreaded ugly RS505 shifters and calipers

I'd be careful with that and check into the shift actuation ratios first.
I understand that Sensah uses SRAM ratios, meaning you'd need something like the SRAM Rival shifters instead. Using 105s might not play well with the Sensah rear derailleur

I thought trace velo used Shimano shifters with sensah?
-
Not sure how trace velo has his setup but I was looking into the same thing in the past. I think some work with shimano but the empire and empire pro are only compatible with sram

Would have to watch it again, but I am pretty sure he runs either his Shimano groupo or his Sensah.
He may have mixed and matched with the front shifter, but that's fine - there wouldn't be compatibility issues there
-
Sensah makes a shimano compatible shifter set too.
The regular sensah stuff is compatible for front mech, not rear apparently.

Yea, that would make sense. SRAM doesn't offer anything under 11-speed, meaning Sensah's 7 through 10-speed sets would need to be Shimano compatible

Any recommendations for breaks for my Airwolf YFM026 in XL? Path length through the frame is 1.23m. Would the RACEWORK XT S M8000 (https://a.aliexpress.com/_msynuJX) with 1.55m be too short?
