Haven’t used Tektro brakes myself but at £69 for 4 Piston front, rears and rotors, they’ll do for the occasional bimble bike I’m building up

The trp slate Evo at 90 quid have been tempting me for a couple of days

@cp Merlin also has the matching 2.3mm Trp rotors as well for £6.99 but only 180mm dia

Well if they’re anything like the TRP Slate on my missus’ Whyte that she’s had for 3 years they’ll be brilliant!

Obviously I don’t advocate this really but never had any maintenance and just work!! No wandering bite point etc…. Shimano and SRAM could learn a thing or two from them 😂

I’ve bought 3 pairs trp slate evo when they were 79.00 a set one for my bike and a set for each of the kids bikes and I’m seriously impressed
Also got the rotors
Couldn’t imagine needing anything else
The new hope tech 4 e4 that failed with leaky pistons have just been returned by hope and will be going on ebay

Also considering the slates. Good to hear positive feedback. My zee lever gave up after only two years and fed up with shimano issues recently.

Ordered a new lever but only 50 quid more for a whole new brakeset. Might cancel and go for the options above.

The slate say they are for 2.3mm rotors. Does anyone have experience of them with different rotors as I’ve recommended the deal to a friend and not sure what rotors he has.

I had some Tektro Orion 4 piston come on my new bike last year. They were awful and lacked any power or feel. Tried pads and numerous bleeds, in the end binned them off for some guides

@freddiest Merlin also has 180mm 2.3mm 6 bolt rotors for £7.99

These are the sort of deals I never find at the right time 😂 I swear when my SRAM disks needed replacing I paid £25 or something like that and of course I needed them next day so the postage was nuts! That’s a great price for those disks though

Tempted to replace the brakes on my partner’s Liv Tempt 1 but they’re also Tektro, albeit a lower model.

But they’re completely lacking in bite or power – Tektro TKD 149, hydraulic, even in comparison to cheapy Shimanos.

Don’t suppose anyone’s got experience of both? Chunkleton’s post has got me thinking I might not be the issue here.

I’m tempted by the TRP slate evos. The guides on my bike are in need of an overhaul.

Not seen much in the way of user feedback.

These are a safe bet

Buy two of the cheapest (44.99)as you can fit on left or right front or back. Trim hose and you have some pretty good brakes for 90 quid.

Remember to trim hose from lever end and all you will need is a olive and insert or if you careful you can cut off old olive and remove insert. So only need 5mm olive.
