00:42:22

The reviewer discusses the LTWOO R9 2x11 speed hydraulic disc brake groupset used in a gravel bike build for their son. They mention it's their first time using a budget Chinese groupset from LTWOO and their first experience with hydraulic disc brakes. The groupset arrived well-packed without its original box (a cost-saving measure), and includes shifters, front/rear derailleurs, brake calipers, and hoses. The reviewer notes the brakes came pre-filled with mineral oil and had hoses already terminated into the calipers. Installation required some adjustments, particularly with the shifter mounting screws being awkwardly placed behind the hoods. The reviewer successfully installed and bled the brakes, finding the process less difficult than anticipated.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Budget-friendly Chinese alternative
  • Arrived well-packed despite no original box
  • Includes all necessary components (shifters, derailleurs, calipers, hoses)

+6 more

Cons

  • Shifter mounting screw placement is awkward (behind hood)
  • Initial difficulty tightening shifters due to screw placement
  • Requires some movement of shifters during hose installation

Key Points

  • 2x11 speed hydraulic disc brake groupset
  • Cost £160 from AliExpress

They also criticize the included finishing strips as being poor quality and mention they'll likely replace them with black insulation tape later.

AI Summary

These mechanical disc brakes are ridiculous! - JuinTech GTF-6
00:19:35

The Juin Tech GT-F Hybrid Hydraulic 4-Piston Flat Mount Disc Brake is discussed as part of a comparison between three Juin Tech calipers (F1, GT-F, and GT-F6). The reviewer mentions that the GT-F is a decent upgrade from the F1, featuring four pistons instead of two, and slightly larger brake pads. They note that the GT-F feels sharper and tighter in braking performance compared to the F1, but still falls short of the GT-F6's performance. The reviewer also points out that the GT-F is more expensive than the F1 but offers better thermal management and stopping power.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Four pistons provide better braking performance than the two-piston F1
  • Sharper and tighter braking feel compared to the F1
  • Better thermal management due to larger brake pads

+1 more

Cons

  • More expensive than the F1
  • Still not as powerful as the GT-F6
  • Stock brake pad compound is not ideal (cold bite is poor)

Key Points

  • Four-piston design
  • Larger brake pads than the F1
  • Identical master cylinder and actuation arms to the F1 and GT-F6
