Looking at gettig these brakes. Yes i know they likely aren't high end probably considered more entry level does anyone run these here looking for your thoughts on them. Can't really afford much more than this at the moment.

Insanely more reliable than brakes that cost twice as much and super powerful and even more super easy to service.

Great product!

Easy to bleed and run mineral oil which is far more awesomeness than dot fluid.

Tho you will never need to bleed them after install so it doesn’t matter!

I have tektro dual pull mechanical on my gravel bike and they have been just as good as my mech avids or my shimano and sram hydros.....tektro has come a little ways since their nah days of old. + buzzilion for mineral oil

OK, the SLX hydros with IceTech rotors and cooling fin metal pads on one of my bikes are noticeably better than all the rest but I have more mechanical discs than hydro and they basically do the job just as well as hydros. The tradeoff for no bleeding or fluid swap running cable is worth it to me. Barely noticeably smoother pull is all that's different. Stopping power just as good either way.
