Why are TEI's calipers so cheap?
1 Answers
TEI's calipers are split-type calipers, which are relatively simple to manufacture, hence the lower price. Here is a detailed introduction about them: 1. There are two types of calipers: monoblock and split-type. Common BREMBO calipers are monoblock, while ALCON uses cast monoblock calipers. BREMBO uses heavier materials, which are much heavier compared to Endless MONO. MONO is a top-tier monoblock forged caliper. 2. The material of the pistons affects the heat transfer from the brake pads to the brake fluid lines: the poorer the material, the stronger the heat transfer. Pistons with weak heat insulation can cause the brake fluid to boil very quickly. Once the brake fluid boils, braking power effectively becomes zero.
