The reviewer discusses the ZRACE BR-005 Cable Actuated Hydraulic Disc Brake as part of their bike build. They mention that these brakes are cable-actuated hydraulic disc calipers, meaning they are controlled by a cable but have a small oil reservoir inside that triggers the pistons. The reviewer notes that this wouldn't be their first choice of brake setup now, but at the time of building the bike, fully hydraulic drop shifters and brakes weren't available on a budget. They highlight that the brakes have performed well overall, with no issues during emergency stops, though they acknowledge that fully hydraulic brakes would still be better.

The reviewer discusses the ZRACE 2x crankset they purchased from AliExpress for £54. They mention that the chainrings are milled from a single piece of aluminum, which eliminates concerns about screws or bolts coming loose. The only issue encountered was the missing preload screw, which the reviewer suspects may have been their own oversight during assembly rather than a fault with the product. Overall, they report very few issues with the crankset after 3,000 miles of use.

The reviewer discusses the Elitewheels carbon wheels as part of their bike build, expressing high satisfaction with them. They mention the wheels are 25mm wide with a 50mm deep aero profile, extremely lightweight at 1.6 kilos combined, and cost £275 for the pair. The wheels have performed well over 3,000 miles, including long-distance rides like Essex to London to Paris and the Hundred Mile Ride London route, without any issues.

The reviewer discusses the Tantan X38 Aero frame set extensively throughout the video. They highlight its super aero profile, lightweight construction (approximately 1100 grams unpainted), and affordable price point of around $700 including shipping. The frame is described as unapologetically aero, resembling the Scott Foil RC Pro, and offers a comfortable ride despite its aggressive look. The reviewer mentions the frame's geometry is suitable for most people but notes it lacks refinement over rough roads compared to more expensive frames. They also discuss the frame's compatibility with various components, including a T47 bottom bracket and hidden cable routing.

The ELITEWHEELS SLT Road Carbon Wheels Aero 3K Twill Brake Ceramic Bearing Hub Pillar 1423 Spoke Clincher Tubeless Wheelset is not mentioned in this video. The reviewer discusses a different set of Elite Wheels, specifically 88mm deep carbon wheels with a 25mm width, smooth brake track, and clincher style.

The reviewer discusses the SENSAH EMPIRE HRD 2x11s Road Bike Hydraulic Disc Brake Front Derailleur Rear Derailleur Carbon Shifter Bike Parts extensively, highlighting its performance, design, and value. They note that it is a pre-release version of a 12-speed hydraulic group set from Sensah, a Chinese manufacturer. The reviewer praises the braking performance, shifting quality, and overall robustness, but also points out some issues with the shifting mechanism and comfort for smaller hands.

The reviewer mentions the M5x12mm Bike Bottle Bolts For Risk Bicycle Water Bottle Cage Bolts Fixed Screw Air Pump Bracket Screw Accessories in the context of upgrading their bike's bottle cages. They purchased titanium screws from the same brand (Risk) for their new carbon cages, which arrived in a cute little box with foam protection. The reviewer includes these screws in the weight calculations for the new setup, noting that the titanium screws contribute to the overall weight savings.
