SHIMANO Deore BR-M6100 Disc Brake Metallic, Front

This disk brake combo works really well and was very easy to install. Make sure you use the right adapter for the brake disk if you are changing rotor size to a larger one. I had gotten an off brand adapter for 180mm rotors and the pads contacted in the wrong place diminishing braking. The shimano adapter cured that problem. I used Teyssor rotors and they work very well. A bleeding kit may be necessary to get any sponginess out of the lever pull if needed. I had converted from rim brakes with koolstop pads. That rim brake setup was almost just as good as using disk brakes. This set up did come with metal pads. I get no squealing with it and it stops really well.

I mounted this brake on a mountain unicycle, and it has served me well for seven months of hard use now. Obviously, on a unicycle you only have one brake, so reliability is paramount. (If you’re curious, the brake lever mounts under the front of the saddle. And yes, you have to lean back hard when braking hard.) This brake offers excellent modulation, a reasonable amount of take-up, and when you when you need it to, it stops with authority even on steep downhill trails.

Great upgrade, bite is strong and consistent

I really had it with these Shimano products not offering any installation instructions although they give you a insulation sheet there is no installation instructions on it only safety warnings and things like that. Then they have a QR code that just sends you to their website which is the same useless information no information about whether to put oil in the brakes or not or how to install at all. Nothing

Great value for brakes.

Shimano Deore M6100 that replaced Shimano MT200 was a nice upgrade. There was nothing wrong with the MT200 it worked fine but you couldn't really control the brakes due to lack of modulation. It is easy to lock the brakes. The Shimano Deore M6100 have better control of the braking power. I also like grey metallic finish look way better than the dull semi-gloss finish of the MT200.

una diferencia palpable entre los mt 200 y estos, suaves al tacto y muy buen agarre

Easy to install. They aren't exactly one- finger, stop on a dime good but I have been happy with Shimano Deore stuff for years.

Si compran este articulo aseguren que el tapon de purga del manillar se pueda aflojar, en mi caso el que recibi venia tan duro que el mecanico no logro aflojarlo y lejos de aflojarse quebro la llave allen, consiguio otra de mejor calidad y el tornillo se barrio porque no afloja. por tal motivo ya no pude regresarlo.

Item advertised as a prebled and ready to be installed brake system with lever and cables. Item is the brake calliper only. Returned immediately for a refund.

Only the caliper arrived - nothing else. Others indicated the same for them. Returning. Strongly suggest avoiding

Add says it comes with brake lever and pre bled hose, it did not come with either. Only the caliper showed up.
