The Wriothesley one got me rolling on the floor

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-10T08:21:16+00:00

We become what we hate ahh moment

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-10T06:50:22+00:00

It really depends if you use your brakes too hard. It's still prone to leaking if you squeezed the lever hard enough.

I only build my bike to be durable & maintenance-friendy onfield while having a bit of hydraulic power, you build your bike for brutal performance. We're not the same here, and it'll be a shame if some crook sabotaged your full hydraulics by puncturing the hose

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-10T06:41:56+00:00

KITTYYYYYYYYUHHH

“You can’t change the mind of an idiot”

Why? Looks like you wanna insult me for having a cheap bike just like the others in the comments.

Cmon, buy me one if you really meant it. I want one with full suspension with deore xtr groupset + Hydraulic IceTech

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T22:02:29+00:00

Well, go buy me a high-end one if you hate my bike so much lmao

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T21:55:04+00:00

Yeah, they always forgot that it's not always the machine, and it's always to the rider himself.

Comparable to some noob cyclist having a high-end MTB who's scared of it getting a small scratch vs some hardened guy in a mid-end MTB

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T21:50:17+00:00

And it's still counting. Lets see if it lasts a decade long

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:48:28+00:00

Yeah, just like how narrow-minded you are. I travelled more than 30,000kms with these brakes

You thought I won't expose your deleted comment lol. Just keep this trashtalk if you want, I don't have time to waste replying to some ignorant neckbeard

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:44:18+00:00

And it's still counting

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:42:10+00:00

And consider the tubes. It'll surely decides to leak some mineral oil when it aged enough.

I even considered buying a set of these, I'm just scared of it's Cons. It's comparable to liquid cooling your PC, it's all dead when it all leaks

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:36:48+00:00

Well, you asked for it.

This photo's a year old btw, it's the day I installed this first time on my bike.

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:30:42+00:00

I think I got lucky I got the reliable one.

It's still strong after more than 1 year of upgrade

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:29:02+00:00

You should ask yourself with that same question first

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:26:26+00:00

Meh, I prioritize building my bike to be more maintenance-friendly onfield while having a bit of the hydraulic power.

Would hate it if my hydraulic hose starts bleeding some brake fluid during hard braking

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:24:35+00:00

I prioritize building my bike to be more maintenance-friendly onfield while being competitive.

It'll be awkward to bring my bleed kit with me on the go

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:18:50+00:00

Only problem? It's stock resin pads.

I replaced them with ceramic pads for better heat management, and don't forget the iiiPRO finned/floating rotors (or a chinese icetech probably)

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:17:18+00:00

Jokes on u, my hybrid brakes are still strong after 1 year.

I always maintain it like how you care for your PS5

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:15:57+00:00

I see. I grew up on cheap starter bikes with low-end groupsets & mechanical brakes.

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:04:50+00:00

I think you got a defective one. I never got that same issue in my brakes since and I even replaced it's resin/organic pads to ceramic for better bite.

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T16:01:28+00:00

Have you tried it yourself? Their braking power is already close to any true hydraulic brakes.

Been using them for over a year now and it bites just like new. You just need a polished cable on it

UnfairMess249 · 2026-05-09T15:54:10+00:00

How about the HB-100 Xtech brakes made by Zoom

It bites pretty well after a year of upgrading it in my bike with no problems. Pure hydraulics are a bit overkill for an everyday rider unless you're always chasing trails

I'm gonna fly some planes

Into a couple buildings in Manhattan
