Should We All Be Using These $75 Brakes?

Brakes are one of the most important parts of your bikes, but with prices reaching all new heights, it’s tempting to explore more budget-friendly options. Owen Coutts decided to put this to the test by purchasing a brake set from AliExpress. The brakes he selected are from an unknown brand that appears to copy the design of more established manufacturers. But the real question is: can these brakes deliver the same level of performance?
