@Agleck7, In those cases where power doesn’t matter, they’re like having a Velcro closure instead of a zipper. It works until it dies, many years before the garment is due for retirement.
Same end result. It’s an inevitable net -significant - upgrade cost for anyone that rides their new couple-of-grand bike that needs to be accounted for when discussing bicycle value. And for a few dollars more a much higher quality budget brake system from Tektro, Shimano, or SRAM that would have lasted the life of the bike.
