YOWZAH; Parktool was saying, take the wheel off... excellent, thanks. I gotta buy loctite before I do this. Already got the pads ordered. (edit) LOCTITE ORDERED

Thanks for the comment

[@oaksteel5173]

Thanks! Successfully replaced the pads with ease! Can you do a video on chain replacement please?

[@JoediyLab]

will do

[@oaksteel5173]

@@JoediyLab thank you so much!! You’re a lifesaver! No bike shops will even attempt to replace mine. Even the so called “e-bike specialists” shops. They say they’re rack is not made for mine. I’ve been riding around with a loose clicky bike for a whole year. And I ride it every single day to commute. Thanks again!! 💕

thx

[@W1EFM]

Joe, Thanks for the videos... lots of good info! You are very familiar with the Bolt Pro. I just got mine and have one issue. The handlebars are not 90 degrees to the wheel, so when I drive straight ahead, the handlebars are about 5-10 degrees to the left. Are you familiar with an adjustment to align the wheel to handlebars? There's an allen screw visible when the post is folded down. Wondering if that might let me make an adjustment, but I don't want to mess something else up by trying to loosen it... your thoughts?

[@JoediyLab]

Hey Ed, great question. If you loosen the handle bar quick release and fold the handle bars down there is a bolt head there. I am assuming you can loosen that bolt and hold the front forks and rotate the forks to align the wheel with your handle bars. If that does not work let me know, I will try it myself.

[@W1EFM]

@@JoediyLab I'll give it a try

[@W1EFM]

Mission accomplished... that screw (which is extremely tight) allows you to do a "front end alignment" ! Thanks.

[@JoediyLab]

@@W1EFM thanks Ed, great news

[@ricsnare]

Very clear with everything .. I just got 2, one for me and my wife, and the lock that you twist into the folding clamp is broke.. would you happen to know if and where you can find that part?

[@JoediyLab]

Yes, Contact Jetson, at ridejetson.com/ they should be able to help you.

[@ricsnare]

@@JoediyLab yeah I filed the warranty claim but you know I easnt trying to wait 48 hours.. I ended up tightening the folding clamp itself and then zip tied thru the hole the latch lock went a couple times.. took it out at top speed and purposely hit some "bumps" just to test and worked fine for now.. thanks tho..

[@mooselips1971]

Take a shot every time he says "at this point."

[@quad_solo_az]

When I torqued down on the first caliper bolt it instantly stripped the bolt. Hex wrench is still perfect but bolt is now round. Happened in an instant. Be careful when you try to remove these bolts. Really in there.

[@fabtube7177]

How do i remove the stripped bolt. Pease im stuck 😔

[@devlamande]

@Joe's Fab Lab How front brake working? When I got bike from Costco, both brakes made sound and pads touch rotor. I adjusted rear brakes and work fine but front brake looks like one pad touch rotor and when I press front brake looks like pad push rotor, no press. How to fix this please?

[@JoediyLab]

Take front caliper off and remove pads. Check pads to make sure then are the same thickness. Put pads back in and re-adjust. Make sure your front brake lever is moving full travel, you might have to adjust. Let me know what happens.

[@TheGracieVshow]

Hi, thanks for the video. Today was my very first time riding it. My question is about wheel balance. When I lift up the rear, and use the throttle, I can tell it's not really balanced. Is this normal?

[@JoediyLab]

Hi Gracie, my rear wheel has a very slight up and down wobble. but nothing is rubbing. Put a block of wood under the kickstand and then take a pencil or wooden dowel and tape it on the frame close to the wheel. Rotate the wheel and see if the rim is moving from side to side or up and down. If it is too bad you might have a bent rim. but more then likely is the the same wobble I have.

[@TheGracieVshow]

Thanks, I think it’s the same - a little up/down wobble so I feel better adopt it. But I do have different question. I have a slight “hum” sound from that rear wheel. I tested the pads by loosening the round tensioner thing, but it’s still there.

[@JoediyLab]

@@TheGracieVshow Yes that hum is normal, You have the electric motor in the wheel, you have the sprocket on the rear wheel which free wheels when you stop pedaling, you have bearings that the wheel rotates on. I even hear a little clicking, that is from the sprocket free wheeling as well. I think you are ok. But these are great questions. You are listening and observing. Great job.

[@rog3rbee915]

I had the same concern also, when I lift up the back wheel and put on full throttle I notice a slight up and down wobble too…I feel a lot better it’s not just me

[@sevidg]

I read a lot of comments saying they are just a bit too big and don’t fit. Some people had to file them down.

[@JoediyLab]

As long as you purchase the correct part number it should fit. I purchased my set from a local bike shop and they fit fine.

[@HB-kx2nm]

@@JoediyLabi think Jetson released another variant where they don't fit, I'm also having the same issue with bb5 size brake pads, they're slightly too long on the bottom part of the circle

[@JoediyLab]

@@HB-kx2nm Check the back of the brake pads and see if there is a part number, or check the Jetson web site to see if they mention a part number. You should be able to order that part number from either a bike shop or on Amazon.

[@yuwontknwha903]

By replacing the brake pads will that fix the brakes if your brakes don’t work I’ve had this bike for less than a year

[@JoediyLab]

What is the problem? Check that you have pad material on the pads. If the brakes do have pad material then check your adjustment, as show near the end of the video. You could just be out of adjustment. As the brakes wear, the pad to disk clearance increases, The brakes do not work as well. Adjust and try again. If the pad s are worn then replace and re-adjust. Great question

[@yuwontknwha903]

@@JoediyLab I’ll do it and then let you know thanks

[@JoediyLab]

Please do, Thanks

[@gavrielborenstein9269]

There appears to be space on the right side of the break disk, but none on the left. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@JoediyLab]

Hi Gavriel, Yes my front brake has that space as well. The rear is spaced evenly. It looks like one brake pad is wearing just a bit faster than the other. This is common. Keep an eye on that brake pad and change it when it wears down. Always make sure you have enough brake pad material on both sides of the caliper.

[@kristygonzales4194]

Can you post a video on how to replace the back tire?

[@JoediyLab]

I will be out for town for the summer, but when I get back I will

[@pinoyboy808]

Is this the same process for the Jetson Haze?

[@JoediyLab]

Should be, concept is the same, but your pads and calipers may be placed a bit differently. Good Luck

[@hoainguyen.]

❤❤ YOUR. EBIKE STILL WORKING ?? 💢💢💥

[@pavi_gam3z121]

How do I buy bec I’m in Canada and the brake pads are for the USA

[@JoediyLab]

Check on Amazon Canada, the pads are made in China. Also check with a local bicycle shop, I purchased mine from a local bike shop.

[@amirailabouni5867]

How do you fix the brakes when they are squeaky ??? Don't know what to do both front and rear sound like hyenas screaming when we stop

[@JoediyLab]

Take the pads out and check for pad dust and grit behind the pads. Look at the pads if they are scuffed or worn out, replace them. Re-adjust as shown in the video

[@jerseyjohnny4343]

Can you adjust the brake that way

[@JoediyLab]

Adjust the brakes like I do in the video.

[@tonytrejo2082]

Need to know how to replace back disc for the brake thanks

[@JoediyLab]

Pull the brake caliper, remove the wheel. You should then be able to unbolt the disc at this time. I will have to do a video when I get back into town. Thanks

[@tonytrejo2082]

There is the wire that goes to the The hub from the throttle how does that disconnect if you look at it you'll see what I mean

[@JoediyLab]

@@tonytrejo2082 I am out of town, so I am away from the bike. That is the wire from the motor to the controller. You might be able to disconnect the wire at the controller and leave the wire connected to the motor. Then just route the wires away from the cover where the battery goes.

[@kevinlawsonseattle]

Is it possible for you to give me the exact give me the exact model number of the brakes I've the brakes I seem to be having trouble finding them

[@JoediyLab]

There is a link in the description for the brake pads on amazon. Part number is BB5.

[@sevidg]

Where is the best place to buy them?

[@JoediyLab]

Check the description on the video, there is an Amazon link to purchase the pads.

[@dautobahn5144]

You should close up the break pads on this video, try to look the parts online doesnt say bb5 coz i havin problem with my bolt where i can get the right size of pads on it

jetson bolt electric bike the neck of the bike is a little loose how do you fix it?

[@JoediyLab]

Edwin, Loosen the quick disconnect on the front forks. Lift up the quick disconnect, there is a nut there. Tighten this nut, which will remove any play in the front handle bars.

What would have useful is setting your camera up a little closer than 5' so the viewer could see how it all goes. No you tuber thought of that?

[@joshuabarnhart9028]

What if it just stays stuck no matter what

[@JoediyLab]

What is stuck, the brake pads? If so tap with a hammer and wood dowel or brass punch. If the bolts are stuck try heating the brake caliper.

[@joshuabarnhart9028]

@@JoediyLab I'm not around it right now but when I get home I will try and see if either of those things help. I think my problem is coming from the "Hard Wire" thing on the other side of the brake pad assembly/kickstand. It tightens the chain the further I screw it in with a 10mm. I had it on wrong at first tho everything was cool when I put the brake pad assembly back on, it's only when I realized I didn't put the "hard wire" back on right & undid it then I ran into this mess with no matter how loose I make the pads it still gets snagged or caught on the disk. It's probably a symmetry thing as I don't think I dropped it or bent the metal at any time it just won't fit together now. I wonder if I can get the problem corrected with more tinkering but appreciate you replying fast. I will let you know if I resolve the problem, this is my friend's son's bike but if it doesn't make me totally frustrated(this came from fixing a flat) then I may get one for myself.

[@joshuabarnhart9028]

@@JoediyLab OK thanks man really appreciate your willingness to help. Very cool of you. It kept me up last night so tmrw afternoon PST if I try again and fail I'll send you an email

[@joshuabarnhart9028]

I can't find your email. My problem comes from not being able to tighten everything once I put the wheel back on. At that point I'm supposed to spin the wheel so to make sure it's not getting caught on the brake pads but it barely moves because the disk is caught on the brake pad or the mechanics are so close together that it's catching up the disk. So I don't know what to do about that I guess just keep trying different combinations until it's a smooth spin and I can tighten all the bolts back w/o it getting caught

[@hawthornselitelevel1220]

Disc brakes on bicycles suck! Just thrown my jetson out with the trash after BOTH brakes failed after just 1 month of riding. These cheap disc brakes on not safe. Bring back v brakes!
