Title: Juin tech F1 Front 160mm Rotor and Caliper
Post by: Medsy on February 28, 2025, 05:43:10 AM

Hi

First time post.  I am looking to get cable actuated hydraulic disc brake calipers for some SRAM mechanical shifters.  I have been looking at Juin Tech F1 however some reviews and other forum posts mention problems with the position of a 160mm rotor in the caliper resulting in the pads not fully making contact with the rotor.  As a result they have been forced to use 180mm rotors.

Anyone here had this problem? Is it specific to a make of fork?

I ran the Juin Tech F1 on two different bikes (Velobuild VB-R-099 and Canyon Grail) with 160mm rotors and no issue.
The only negative I can say is the cable routing, caused quite a "bend" of the compressionless housing on the Velobuild VB-R-099.
I recently purchased a set of Growtac Equal knockoffs on AliExpress, very happy with the installation but no significant miles on them as of yet (winter in central Europe).
