Any opinions on this particular brake replacement set? Link

From the description it's a full set of front/rear calipers, brake levers and cables which would go onto my winter bike (Mongoose S20 MTB). The key concept is they're cheap and for about $64.15 shipped I can get an entire set of new braking equipment. This will save some time rummaging around in the parts bin at the LBS where things can be a bit hit or miss as well.

I think the set contains some type of Quartz brake levers with MT 14 brake arms from other site descriptions..

I should mention the bike is completely set up as a winter/foul weather commuter, no off-roading really.

I put a set on a secondary bike last year. Cheap & they work well.
Can't speak for foul weather durability since I don't ride much in foul weather.

The only point of weakness I can see is the barrel adjuster screws on the levers, it’s a cheap aluminum screw, so just don't screw it out to much or it could break. I haven't broken one yet, just something to keep in mind.

If you plan on mainly foul weather riding a sealed cable set would be worth it over time.

Thanks for the input. I'll roll the dice and order a set.

I think I'd go with Avid SD-5's. https://www.pricepoint.com/thumb/3-Pa...rakes-True.htm
You buy the brakes separately ($16.98 each), and the levers are $12.98, but that's still only about $7 more than the Tektro's. I always had good luck with Avids-

If you get the Tektro's look into better pads. Other than the very highest road brake they offer the pads are so-so. Koolstop seems to be the replacment pad of choice.

I just put the Tektro Quartz brake set that I bought on my MTB winter commuter and took it for a short ride in the neighborhood. I must say they feel pretty nice and responsive and so far the stock pads are doing the job. We'll see how well they do in wet conditions but dry they work just fine.

I bought the Tektro Quartz set from here and I'm pretty happy with what comes in the kit. Everything you need to replace your existing brakes is included. I did end up reusing the bolts and washers from the old set to fasten the calipers to the frame however.
