1st up, Clarks Exo.
Came attached to a Carrera subway that I was disposing off for my brother in law. Had been stored outdoors so levers are a bit faded and there’s a bit of rust on some of the connections.
Hose lengths front 73cm rear 141cm.
Tried the front on my tracklocross and it didn’t have much bite so pads might be contaminated or something. They’d done that thing where the fluid or seals expand a bit and they lock up so I let some fluid out and may have dropped some on the pads but I was careful.
Haven’t tried the rear other than in the workstand when stripping the bike down where it seemed to be working ok.

Next, the Tektro brakes from my Kona Unit. I’ve switched them out for bb7s.
Spec for the bike just calls them HDM275.
Both ends working fine though they aren’t exactly what you’d call powerful brakes.
Hose lengths, front 76cm, rear 136cm.
Levers a bit scuffed but nothing horrendous.
£20 posted.
