ZRACE BR 002 Cable Actuated Hydraulic Disc Brake For Road Cyclo cross CX bike, CycloCross Bicycle Brake
Disc-BrakesWorks as a brake, comparable to a rim brake at the most though. Still, having a disc brake is still advantageous: - no rim wear, - better brake performance in the wet - easier to install than hydraulic - With the included disc I have the problem, that the brake does not center itself perfectly every time, so I sometimes have to tap the brake to recenter. Could also be the brake pads (Switched to Shimano metal)

ZRACE RX 2 x 10 / 11 Speed Road Chainset Chain Wheel crank protector, 50/34T, 53/39T, 170mm / 172.5mm / 175mm
Crank
- very light, stiff
- the included Bottom bracked worked for about 2,000 km after it got rough and replaced (See last point)
- optic is a little mixed, but pictures show it: Might be not great for a road bike, but looks more "rugged" so great fit for Gravel, CX, MTB etc.
- Did it job, but I regret the SRAM DUB standard a little, so I switched back to Shimano's because it is so much harder to get (good) Bottom brackets for SRAM's.

- Great glasses, for me
- Photochromatic is ok... BUT it does not get totally clear, so it is not usable at night.

NITENUMEN X1S 1xCREE XM L2 850 Lumens 3 Mode USB Rechargeable LED Bicycle Light Flashlight(1x18650) LED Flashlights
Lights
- VERY bright
- mount is ok
- Battery was NOT included and must be ordered seperately
- Cone is not useful for city or traffic, as there is no cutoff and you will blind upcoming people
- if you ride over rough terrain the battery or light will flicker. In the end, a good extra light for the dark forest nights, and price was very ok.
