[@poloxlolz]

wow, super comprehensive review and setup guide. very cool to see that you involved your child as well in the replacement process... enjoyed the video and thanks again for sharing

[@TechTronic9000]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked the video.

[@manvargen]

Thanks for making this, i bought two pieces so i'll change in front too! Great tip, because my standard brakes are a bit uneven.

[@paulgrant5169]

Ok just did this conversion,the brakes are different on the d2s as they have no separate pads,the pistons have the friction material glued to the top of them, very strange. The rears required a washer between the bracket and the bike frame as the pads would rub,the rest is as per video. The fronts went on without any washers and was pretty straightforward, just to note the cable adjuster is very close to one of the mounting bolts but is doable. Hope that helps someone.

[@TechTronic9000]

Also it seems that if you use the original brackets supplied with the new caliper you won't need to add any more washers.

[@kristoffshimada7629]

Thank you for making a review for this brakeset. I'm also planning to buy one for my mountain bike and I didn't even know that it has a dual pivot disc brake in a cheap price 👍💯

Excellent video, Ill be changing mine soon too. A bit off topic but do any D2S users have an issue with the steering column/stem? I have to tighten the screw in the locking mechanism every time I ride, sometimes even twice. It seems to work itself loose very easily. Is there anything I can do to stop this or is it just a problem with foldable bikes?

Thank you so much for this video, i have been considering upgrading my xc bike to hydraulic but kept wondering if there is something like this semi-hydraulic. How is the modulation on these xtech zoom breaks ? How would you compare the modulation to regular mechanical disc and hydraulic disc breaks ? And are they still holding up well, how's the pad-wear ? Thanks again, subscribed !

[@TechTronic9000]

Hi! I run several bikes and they have mechanical, these semi hydraulic and full hydraulic brakes. The modulation is very good on the Xtech. The pulling power of the handle is similar with the cables ones but much more better brake feedback, also more stopping power. I have 3000km on these bike with Xtech, zero problems, zero adjustments and I still have the original brake pads.

@@TechTronic9000 thank you

[@Avengerie]

Nice mod. Any idea how to remove a speed limit on D2S?

[@TechTronic9000]

As nice as it sounds this doesn't work for: Fiido D1, D2, L2, all of these bikes are using planetary geared motors which spin very fast and have a reduction gear inside thus providing very good torque. the downside of such kind of motor is that is very limited in providing speed, for instance the ratio is ~ 4.5 to 1 so the motor is spinning 4.5 times per each wheel revolution. So all thees bikes are physically limited by the top voltage of the battery and the designed motor speed (KV - turns per volt), thus ~ 25km/h is the speed that the motor will be able to run under load at full battery voltage. If you don't trust this then you can check my controller swap video in which i replace a stock Fiido "350W" limited speed controller with a 1200W one capable of unlimited speed (99km/h) and the result is exactly ~ 25km/h.

[@TechTronic9000]

Yes both rear springs have adjustments, but it's kind of hard. You might upgrade this with a longer shock making the rear arm at a 90° angle thus making the suspension even better, making the bike a bit higher and better to ride on uneven ground.
