Does this apply to all Ebikes and just Tectro Aries brakes?I have a Pedego Element and want to adjust my brakes
@TinkeringTurtle 2 күн бұрын
while this video is specific to tektro Aries style brakes, If the brakes on your Pedego look similar it should be a the same or similar process.

Tried it twice on an Aventon Aventure2, did nothing. There is really no reason to disassemble it, it's water-based and a decent rinse will remove it. It very much resembles valve lapping compound, though seems finer grit.

oh my goodness, I just tried this. I never had disc brakes before, and bought a used disc brake bike. Nice bike except the very loud squeal on front and back brakes. As I was doing the front brake, and cleaning the rotor with alcohol and shop rag, I got a very noticeable squeak, just from moving the rotor while applying alcohol. OMG, these brakes are designed to squeal. But after the moment of panic, I continued on. And I would say the final result is the front brake is not squeaking and the back brake can still squeak under heavy braking but for the most part, it's ridable now. Before it would wake the entire neighborhood.
@TinkeringTurtle Ай бұрын
I am glad it helped. The vast majority of the time cleaning the disc and pads with isopropyl alcohol will do the trick. On a few bikes I have had to use this product. And one bike I actually ended up replacing the caliper to eliminate the problem. Enjoy your bike!

Had a problem with my Ocelot Pro, working with Magicycle to fix it. We’ve changed the display, the controller, the harness, the cadence sensor. Bike now runs in throttle and pas mode but it runs at full speed regardless of pas settings. Even runs at pas0. Still displays code 30 and also doesn’t update distance or anything related to it. I’m wondering if the controller they sent me was faulty? Appreciate your thoughts! Been down for about 6 weeks. Sure would like to get back out and ride again! Any help appreciated! Thanks
@TinkeringTurtle Ай бұрын
As you probably know, error code 30 indicates a communication problem between the screen and controller. You have replaced all the components (display, controller and harness) that would be connected with that issue. I’m not certain what else you could do. Maybe pull the connectors apart and see if any of the pins are bent. But I would guess that isn’t the issue. Was the controller they sent you new? This definitely feels like a bad controller or possibly display… sry I couldn’t really help.

I don’t think so. While it might not be as strong as the normal configuration. I have jumped curbs pulling up pretty hard without issue. I have used these for years and have never had a problem. I do, mostly, just cruise around and don’t put a lot of pressure or tension on the handlebar system. It has never loosened or failed in any way.

Hi Tim, I hope you've been well. Recently, my wife had a flat tire on her Himiway Cruiser. Of course it had to be the back tire! LOL. Anyway, I had installed Tannus Armour liners about 2 years ago but I was surprised when I took the tire off the rim to repair the inner tube, that the liners were now thin. They no longer had that cushion like they did when new. I reached out to Tannus and was told that they will compress and I should air down the tires monthly and put the bike in the sun to help decompress the liners and for better results, to remove the liners and leave them in the hot sun for several hours. I thought that was a strange response. Who is going to do that every month? What are your thoughts on this? I can forward the email response I received if you like. Rob
@TinkeringTurtle 2 ай бұрын
I have heard that before. I didn’t realize they wanted you to do it monthly, but I have heard they wanted you to let it relax. I personally don’t. So mine are likely thinned out. I figure they still give some protection, just not as much. I haven’t been purchasing them for new bikes, but I have been re-using them when switching tires. I went to a new type of tire and so far I haven’t had any flats. I think the knobby tires that come with the bike tend to catch debris and sets it up for a puncture. My new tires don’t seem to catch the debris the same way. They just roll over them. They do feel a little different while riding … more grippy. But once you’re used to it, it is really nice. I show them in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoDciJebitlqqtU

I don’t notice it moving with pedal strokes too much. Although it is possible it move some. As for mountain biking, it will definitely absorb the shocks.
