These shifters are _excellent_. I've done maybe 2000km on them, and they've been faultless so far. They're light, feel really comfortable, and shift beautifully. I bought them to replace some broken Shimano 105 shifters, as these are compatible, and haven't looked back once. I'd quite happily use these on every single bike I owned, I'm that impressed with them - they're mechanical only, but pair them with some Shimano 105 derailleurs to get an excellent mini groupset for < £100[^1].

![Black ZTTO rim brakes mounted onto the front fork of a road bike](./src/images/ztto_rim_brakes.jpg)

I'm going to preface this by saying these brakes haven't ever _failed_ (yet). In the "does this stop the bike" sense, they've been absolutely fine. These are £14 rim brake calipers I bought after my Tektro ones bit the dust and I needed an interim replacement. Where they fall down is the build quality - clearly a lot of the bolts and screws aren't made of decent stainless steel, because after even a short while they were quite rusty. Secondly, both calipers seem to stick quite a lot (as in they don't release fully after letting off the brake), and nothing I've tried so far (adjusting tension, lubricating the springs) has made much of a difference. However, I suspect it might be a cable routing issue, so I'm going to try swapping the cables & housing, and see how that pans out.

Overall though, I wouldn't bother. Don't gamble with brakes, spend the extra bit of cash and get a decent set of branded brakes - the Shimano 105 brakeset can come in at < £60 in some places, which is a worthwhile purchase in my opinion.
