Another good video. I think I’ll take a pair, or even 3 pairs (I have 3 Radrovers 2017) of those hydraulic brakes . But now I’m going to hold you to your word of making videos of the Radrover faster. My personal areas of interest is a 52V /35amp controller that is plug and play with the radrover, kt-lcd8h color display, real 750 watt Bafang motor upgrade and a 52V / 30ah battery pack in a triangle bag that is plug and play compatible and fits 2017 Radrover. Nobody is making good step by step videos of upgrading the Radrover. These brakes are a good start. Please help us Radrover enthusiasts. We are mostly made up of the older bicyclists that enjoy modding and accessorizing our Rads way more than the Sondors crowd.

For those of you who are first timers, let's this be a lesson for you. Please retain the old brake line holder bolt unless you're confident that you can run the brake cable through without fraying the cable. Me being a moron took the cable off and try to run it through the new bolt and frayed the cable. I thought it wouldn't matter, but it had destroyed the brake cable. Now, new cables are being ordered and hopefully getting installed properly like this video. Lesson learned for me, at least.

I have hydraulic brakes on my favorite machine... came installed and finding where to put brake fluid in is the aggravating point because the lines are all wrapped in a mesh wrap but guess will have to remove the mesh when it needs fluid in time... any way I do love the 750 watt Bafang motor on the ebike and the brakes are a neccessary thing as fast as it goes. I love the machine and I bought a Luckeep and Suzuki partneered with them in the electrical stuff and has a really nice Samsung battery in the machine. I like how well the hydraulic brakes work compared to my e-bike with mechanical brakes. Wish you the best and thanks for the video on how to do this stuff... will help for finding where everything is on my machine and I'm sure the fluid fill is under all that mesh wrap on my machine. Beautiful machine, spent the morning looking a lost cow that was finally found dead in a ditch... being a cowboy on an e-bike today... strange how the world changes...

And even worse is the lever is very hard. Finally installed a full hydraulic brake system with fluid tubes. And WOW ! The lever is smooth as butter with only 3 fingers and the braking power is EXCELLENT !

I see there is a mechanism to loosen it, but the screw only unscrews itself from the long bolt if I spin it counter clockwise, what gives? Is it defective? I will test the other one out tomorrow and see if I can loosen it, if not I will have to take a plier to it.

After watching some videos noticed the mounts that came with the bike, so dont know if that would be the missing link.

If my Rad Mini with the pwr upgrade is able to grab the rotors hard enough to begin skidding or softer (so I slow to a non-skid stop quickly) if I don't squeeze as hard, then how will hydraulic improve my stopping distance? Not saying they can't. I just want to understand how they can improve upon the current braking that seems 100% effective... depending on how hard I squeeze. I'm a lightweight rider if that makes any difference to the scenario. Is it solely because of the double sided grip? Thanks

This seems like what I should do but on top of that maybe new disk breaks because I’m pretty sure mine have warping from the start even. I can feel it when I break too especially in the front. Can’t adjust the pads in any efficient way to not have some sort of rub at some points in the rotation either. But good thing is I did get them to stop me pretty decently so as far as safety goes I should be okay for now but I also do not want that rubbing resistance when I’m not using the breaks.

I don't know if anyone can help but had the Tektro brakes on the himiway and did the conversion. The mount though makes the new callipers only cover 70% of the rotor. Has anyone had any luck adjusting or switching out the mount to smaller profile. Would like any suggestions if possible.

Did the new calliper come with a post mount, only use the existing mounts.

can you still call a hydraulic brake if you are still using mechanical cables instead of hydraulic tubes? I presume that the performance is half as good as fully hydraulic brakes

Couple of questions for you .......... Where to buy and cost ?. Also, where is the oil reservoir ? All hydraulic brake systems rely on a fluid supply.

Does the pads needs constant replacement, how many miles will the pads last? And can I Also adjust them like mechanical disc brakes or do I have to do some kind of bleeding?
@mikethomas6051
@mikethomas6051 Жыл бұрын
Depends on pad type, organic resin will give less milage, semi metallic more, you don't need to go with the pads that come with it, they have a special pad adjuster screw at the back, which pulls both pistons in, no bled on these as its a sealed fluid camber and its only the calipers that have fluid in, not the brake line.

With regular hydraulic brakes, you need less hand pressure than mechanical brakes to get the same level of stopping power. Is this true of these cable-actuated brakes as well? I don't necessarily feel like I need more stopping power than the mechanical brakes, but I have some hand issues, so if these brakes require less hand pressure to yield the same level of stopping power, there would be value in that for me. TIA for any thoughts.

Jake that's an excellent question. Yes, they are easier to stop with than standard mechanical brakes. I would however say a 100% hydraulic setup has an easier lever pull as you don't have the friction of the steel cable involved.

Velomobile Shop Thanks. Would compression free brake cables improve that too? If so, do you sell those?

jake london I have not personally tried it. At a minimum, you could certainly lubricate your existing cables to make the pull easier.

@@jakelondon - Hi Jake - compression-less cables and housing is the way to go. Jagwire is the more known brand but a step up is the Yokozuna is the best. Many reports of this cable and house being superior to the Jagwire compressionless system. Also, Yokozuna as a premium caliper like the Juin referenced here... but at a much higher price point. The Juin is a good way to go and I think the compressionless cable housing would be helpful to your hands. Good luck! (I realize my comment if two-years too late... but just in case it helps)

Hello Area 13, can you tell me where the Juinteck calipers are made? I am interested in changing my mechanical brakes to hydraulics, but after reviewing similar calipers it appears some are not as good as others. Problems fading, failing, and just not a safe alternative. Please advise.

My front bottom adjustment knob was so tight that when attempting to loosen it through bottom plastic nut came off. Great concept but they seem cheaply made. I'll be putting the Tektros back on and don't think I'll be buying again. Super disappointed because they did perform well until adjustments were needed.

Great idea, but I would caution against using this on the rear brake of an e-tricycle because it appears to be normal practice to only brake one rear wheel. Normally the left side freewheels, and the reason is that unless it does, going around corners would require a differential gear setup. Heavy braking could slew the cycle sideways.

That sounds kind of scary to me, tricycles are much heavier than bicycles and their brakes are also worse?

actually I would think the hydraulic brakes would be easier to control. or by a trike from Lectric, as it comes with a differential as standard equipment.
