    I don’t know how good Tektro HDC-300 disc brakes are, but CRC currently have them at £15.99 an end (80% off) in a rather fetching blue (they’d probably look nice on my Swift if I needed new brakes).

    Might be handy for cheap builds or little people’s bikes.

    Worth noting that they’re set up “continental”, Left-hand Front and Right-hand Rear rather than normal UK way round.

    Rear is 11.99 and Front is 15.99.

    Ah right, I hadn’t spotted that, quite a saving if they’re any good.

    Cheers, gonna grab one for m singlespeed as the ancient XTRs on it leak quite badly. I’ll report back it the swap to UK stylee is easy!

    Nice, looks like one of the other models they are binning out has the caliper used by the giant conduct system (for less than giant wat and you get a spare hose!).

    Ta. Just ordered a pair off Wiggle. Mineral Oil so suits everything else I have.

    I was about to order some compressionless outer for a set of BB7s but this might be a better option.

    Both ends are 11.99 at wiggle. They’ve  cheapDeore 2x chainsets as well, 34.95, if anyone’s interested. At least, I think they’re cheap.

    Got the blue draco auriga ones for a fixing up an old bike, simple swap over with the hoses as they need shortening anyway. Came with rotors and adapters and all the bolts £23.98 for all that, amazing. No box just bubble wrapped.

    Thanks for this PSA.  £20.10 with new customer discount gets 2 callipers and levers nicely bled, 2 rotors, mounts and bolts. Hopefully they will be ok to swap front for back cable.

    Grub screw reach adjust on the piston rod going through the black barrel on the lever blade, just visible on picture. A bit late, sorry.

    For reference these do have the correct caliper for the giant conduct system.

    So they take the same pads as Shimano Deore?

    These seem ridiculously cheap – are they actually any good? Suitable for some techy downhill or just for pootling about the countryside?

    Want some new brakes for my 2016 voodoo bizango and assumed I would be spending a fair bit more.

    I meant to imply “the way round that’s normal for the UK”, as opposed to other ways being abnormal…
