Comme on le voit sur la photo je voyage avec un vélo très très lourd , pourtant j'ai choisi de retirer mes freins hydrauliques d'origine pour lui installer des freins mécaniques , la raison est que les freins mécaniques sont moins fragile et beaucoup plus facile à réparer sur le bord de la route , mais il faut que les freins soient efficaces et durable , alors j'ai installé ces mâchoires mécanique Shimano et des disques de la même marque , le résultat est bluffant d'efficacité , c'est sûr qu'il faut appuyer un peu plus sur les manettes de frein pour obtenir le même résultat qu'avec les mâchoires hydraulique d'origine , mais cette installation mécanique est largement suffisante pour stopper net tout le poids de mon équipement . Il est certain que la qualité de ces mâchoires Shimano y sont pour beaucoup sur l'efficacité de mon freinage , mais je vous recommande quand même de leurs installer aussi des disques Shimano de qualité équivalente ainsi que des gaines et des câbles bien rigide , donc si vous souhaitez vraiment obtenir un freinage mécanique presque aussi efficace que de l'hydraulique il faut faire cela . Perso je vous recommande vivement cette installation de qualité si vous voulez faire des économies tout en ayant un super freinage . A bientôt 😉

Compré una porque se rompió un tornillo del trasero que tenía, de marca "la pava", lo puse y me dio tan buena impresión que pedí otro para tener otro nuevo también delante y curarme en salud.Una vez probados, debo decir que la sensación de frenado es muy buena, frena con potencia, pero sin ser incómodos. Al revés, se me han hecho muy cómodos y muy seguros.Diría que volvería a comprarlos, pero espero que duren mucho y no haga falta.

Ottimo prodotto; montaggio semplice e veloce, efficace e sicura la frenata (ho provato altre marche ad un prezzo inferiore ma non davano la stessa efficienza e sicurezza), spedizione veloce.

I used this caliper to replace my front brakes in a recent bike upgrade.The product was of good quality which goes without saying really as it is a Shimano & I am very pleased with the end result.Fitting it was a doddle, it took about 30 minutes to fit the new parts to my old focus hybrid & so far it has been working very well on my daily commute to work.The braking force & overall performance has been greatly improved & more importantly the wet weather breaking is by far superior to my previous standard lever brakes.In all its a good upgrade or replacement product depending on what your looking to do.

I live in a hilly city, grades of up to 30%. Yeah, you need good breaks and some skill. I've tried many others in the same price range 30-50 USD, but nothing is as good as these. I expect as much as Shimano is a legit company with great products. I even tried those semi-hydraulic brakes on my eBike stamped out from overseas like candy and ran thru brake pads like it was going out of style. I replaced those semi-hydraulic brakes on my eBike with these and was quite impressed with the braking power & accuracy to feather them on steep downhills. Yes, full hydraulic brakes are better, but I have them too on my other bikes. However, for the money, these are the best. For mechanical brakes, stick with reputable companies. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

Great value for the money. Very important that you take the time to bed the brake pads in. At first I didn't like them but followed people's advice on taking the time to bed them in correctly and wow I'm impressed. Watch a video on how to bed them. I'm using a180mm Avid G3 rotor in the back and 180mm Teyssor rotor in front. Plenty of adapters are sold to allow these brakes to upgrade your rotors from 160mm to 180mm but I chose the Shimano's just to be safe as I originally had 160mm rotors on my rims. Don't install them and immediately go riding that can be dangerous if you're new to mechanical disc brakes. These are Shimano Acera level brakes and are great entry level mechanical disc brakes. You can't beat the price.

Easy to install and with some fine tuning it’s just as good as hydraulics

I decided to upgrade my MTB & the brakes were one system I felt deserved an upgrade. I originally had V-brakes, wanted to try disc brakes & felt a pair of SHIMANO M375 Brake Calipers were a good entry level choice.The M375 calipers come w/the mounting bolts (pre thread lockered), washers & brake pads. The installation was straightforward & simple. I installed w/180mm Shimano XT SM-RT86 rotors in both the front & rear. For the front fork, I used a Shimano SM-MA90 post to post adapter & in the rear, a Shimano SM-MA-R180 IS to post adapter. With this setup, the M375’s work awesome. After a couple test rides & adjustments, the braking is strong, even when wet (unlike wet V-brakes).The M375 calipers have 1 moving (outside) pad & 1 stationary (inside) pad when the lever is squeezed. I’ve read & watched some instructionals that recommend placing a credit card or thin shim between the stationary pad & rotor when mounting. Although this works, I found this is not necessary. When mounting the calipers, I installed the bolts hand tight, allowing the calipers to move. I then squeezed the brake lever, this allowed the caliper to adjust itself on the mount, aligning to rotor. I then tightened the mounting bolts, securing the caliper. This will cause the stationary pad to rub the rotor. At the inside of the caliper, if you look through your wheel from the opposite side, you’ll see an adjustment bolt for the stationary pad. I backed off the pad w/the adjustment bolt 1 click at a time, until the wheel spun freely w/out rub. This allows for forward adjustment of the pad as it wears down in the future. Just my 2 cents.If your converting from V (rim) brakes, don’t forget to order/buy new brake cables. Your brake lines are most likely too short to reach the new position of the brake calipers.If you’re looking for an inexpensive entry level mechanical disc brake system, I can recommend the Shimano M375 calipers as a great option.Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.

I used a pair of these Shimano calipers to add disc brakes on the front and rear of my mid 80's Trek aluminum frame mountain bike, when converting it into a 1500W electric urban assault commuter bike. The front was easy. These calipers bolted directly to the Suntour suspension front fork I purchased as part of the upgrade. The rear was considerably more challenging. I found a disc brake adapter on Amazon to add disc brakes to bikes without disc brake braze ons, but the universal adapter required a fair amount of modification, custom shims, etc. It also required me to buy the Shimano MA-R mounting bracket. These disc brakes may not offer the wheel locking braking power of hydraulic disc brakes, but they're super easy to install and maintain and they're compatible with conventional cable operated brake levers. I'm not even sure there are hydraulic brake levers for electric bikes with the integrated brake switches in the levers. The stopping power is MUCH better than the old U brakes I had on my mountain bike. Disc brakes are a very nice upgrade and the BR-M375 calipers offer a very good value. The price is very low but the quality is excellent.

My bike came with a simple 160mm JAK Super Brake & started to fail after 500 miles of riding. I also didn't think I would be able to find replacement pads very easily. I replaced the JAK Super Brake with this Shimano M-375 caliper & it was a great upgrade. The JAK Super Brake was pretty flimsy compared to this Shimano caliper. This caliper is built pretty solid. I have went downhill on a long road from 35mph to a stop & it did an excellent job. It is also easy to adjust & replace the pads. They have a bigger surface area & are held by magnets & cotter pin unlike my old brake, which were smaller & held by magnets only. The right side screw (inside next to spokes) is adjusted in increments so you can get a more accurate adjustment & it will stay adjusted that way. The pads also don't squeak or at least they haven't yet when I ride. My old caliper pads would squeak really bad even after constant adjustments & that annoyed me a lot. I am glad I upgraded to this Shimano caliper.This caliper does not come with an adapter. The adapter I already had mounted on my bike was similar to the Shimano MA-F Disc Mounting Bracket (Front 160mm) & this caliper mounted just fine.
