Should We All Be Using These $75 Brakes?

Brakes are one of the most important parts of your bikes, but with prices reaching all new heights, it’s tempting to explore more budget-friendly options.

The brakes he selected are from an unknown brand that appears to copy the design of more established manufacturers. But the real question is: can these brakes deliver the same level of performance? ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 00:00 - Welcome! 00:37 - Unboxing the AliExpress brakes 04:21 - Fitting our AliExpress brakes 08:45 - How well do they stop? 12:06 - Our buying experience 15:07 - How the brakes perform on the trail 18:33 - Results from the test Useful Links: 🛍 GMBN Merch Store 👉 https://gmbn.eu/gmbnshop Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 https://upload.gmbn.com/ Sign-up to our newsletter 👉 https://gmbn.eu/newsletter Would you ride with an unknown brake brand?
