Hydraulic, Mechanical, V-Brake or Caliper Brake?

Selecting the right bicycle brake type depends on frame mounts, stopping power requirements, and maintenance preferences. Hydraulic systems offer superior modulation via fluid, while mechanical discs rely on cable pull. Rim brakes (V-brakes and calipers) remain standard for specific road and city frames. Review the comparison below to match the brake type with your project.

Brake Type Actuation Important Selection Points TESNO Catalog Coverage

Frequently Asked Questions About Bicycle Brakes

What types of bicycle brakes does TESNO supply?
TESNO supplies a complete range including hydraulic disc brakes, mechanical disc brakes, V-brakes, and caliper brakes. We also provide replacement components such as brake levers, rotors, pads, adapters, and service parts for various bicycle applications.
Does TESNO supply hydraulic and mechanical bicycle disc brakes?
Yes, the catalog covers both systems. We offer 21 specific hydraulic models for MTB, road, e-bike, and kids' bikes, alongside multiple cable-actuated mechanical disc calipers like the LB-DX series for general and e-bike use.
Which bicycle brakes are suitable for e-bike projects?
E-bike projects typically require brakes with sensor control integration. We supply specific e-bike hydraulic models (like HD-E860XP, HD-E900) and mechanical calipers (like LB-DX2016E), as well as dedicated e-bike sensor brake levers to integrate with motor cut-off systems.
What rotor sizes are available?
The catalog includes disc rotors in 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, and 203 mm diameters. However, available rotor sizes must be confirmed by the specific brake caliper model and frame/fork compatibility.
Does TESNO offer 2-piston and 4-piston hydraulic brakes?
Yes, both configurations are available. Standard MTB and road models typically utilize 2-piston setups, while heavy-duty MTB and high-performance e-bike models offer 4-piston calipers for increased stopping power.
What is the difference between IS, Post Mount and Flat Mount?
These are frame and fork mounting standards. IS (International Standard) uses side bolts, Post Mount uses direct vertical bolts, and Flat Mount is a compact standard primarily used on road bikes. Adapters are available to convert between some standards depending on rotor size.
Can I order front and rear bicycle brake sets?
Yes, brake sets can be configured for front and rear positions. Specifications like hose length, cable length, and adapter mounts will be matched to the required front/rear setup during quotation.
Does TESNO supply brake rotors, pads and adapters separately?
Yes. We supply 10 rotor models, 26 disc pad families, and 19 adapter types for aftermarket replacement, repair kits, or as independent components for wholesale sourcing.
How do I match a brake pad with a caliper model?
Pad matching requires confirming the specific caliper model code. Visual similarity is not sufficient. For example, many of our MTB models use standard P08 pads, while specific 4-piston models like the HD-E860XP require P15 pads.
What information is needed for a bicycle brake quotation?
Please provide the bicycle application, required brake type, front/rear position, rotor size, caliper mount style, estimated order quantity, and any specific packaging or logo requirements.
Can I request samples before a bulk order?
Yes, sample confirmation is a standard step in our sourcing process. We recommend verifying the model, appearance, assembly, and packaging via samples before proceeding with bulk production.
Can TESNO review packaging and component combinations?
Yes, we review packaging options including bulk OEM packs, front/rear set packaging, and color boxes based on order volume. We can also combine brake sets with rotors and adapters in one shipment.
