Cheers for the update. They sound good enough. Especially given the price. Have you tried any of the other cable actuated hydro brakes on Ali?

Only very briefly - my brother bought ZTTO ones a year ago or so, and they were rather disappointing, definitely weaker than the Spyres and possibly weaker than the (also mechanical) Revers his bike came with

TRP HY/RD are decent. The pistons adjust as the brake pads wear. I'm presuming the Tanke version should work the same? For cable actuated hydraulic brakes, I do prefer Juin Tech F1s. You have to adjust them yourself, but you can fine dial just how close they are to the rotor.

Ugh thats good to know. I was considering blind buying some when i saw the these HY/RDs knock offs. It's hard to know which is which though given they're all sold under multiple brands with subtle variations (Muqzi, Onirii, zoom, zrace etc).

The price difference between any Juin Tech and the Tanke's is quite large. Even the Spyres are three times the price where i am. If the Tankes get anywhere near acceptable and decent performance they'd be a great deal.

I was eyeing up some of the many Juin Tech copies but it sounds like they're not worth buying at all. 

*edit, found some more info here http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,2985.msg22577/topicseen.html#msg22577

And found some knock off Spyres too https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006826680291.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller.20.2cd5UwgFUwgFtS&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40050.354490.0&scm_id=1007.40050.354490.0&scm-url=1007.40050.354490.0&pvid=a39d110d-4f29-4a8c-8b35-a29001d3a24f&_t=gps-id:pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40050.354490.0,pvid:a39d110d-4f29-4a8c-8b35-a29001d3a24f,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238112%231997&utparam-url=scene%3ApcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller%7Cquery_from%3A
