right back at you brother 🙏

[@Sunspot-19]

Logan, the first step in using DOT fluid is to degas the fluid. DOT absorbs moisture annnnnd air. Since it absorbs air, when it is placed under vacuum, it will look like a freshly poured glass of champagne. So, using your syringes, you can eliminate most of the air in the fluid. Degassing prior to a fill and bleed will provide a firmer lever feel and a longer lasting bleed. Second item, true the rotors to have less than .002" runout. Bedding in the pads, ride like a human, avoid overheating during break in. Heat them up with normal riding and then stay out of the brakes for a few minutes to cool the rotor. That will give you a longer lasting pad and rotor with better, fade free dirtin'. Great channel, my friend!! DOT fluid cleans up with plain ole water!! Easy peasy stuff.

[@Danielxperez14]

how do you degass the oil? ive always bled mine the simple way and never knew about this stuff your saying

[@Mastr-Tech]

Bedding in brake rotors requires getting them very hot. So the pad will transfer material to the rotor.

[@Sunspot-19]

@@Danielxperez14 I'll start with the properties of DOT fluid. It absorbs both water and air. Place it under vacuum and it looks just like champaign. First is clean, fresh DOT 4 or 5.1. Next step is using a large syringe with a blockoff valve for the process. Draw the syringe filled with DOT and observe it's behavior. Those gas bubbles are being removed at this point so they do not sully a bleed effort.

[@Sunspot-19]

@@Mastr-Tech After which I get to replace warped rotors. Material transfer happens at normal operating temperatures with a little patience. There is no need to make em turn red!!

[@Mastr-Tech]

@@Sunspot-19 overheating the rotor does not warp it. Either the rotor bolts are torqued unevenly or you make a hard stop and transfer a load of material into one spot. Do a little more research on bedding in brakes for bikes and cars.

Dude I just watch you learning how to wheelie today n the newer videos you just popin that thang now love it ❤❤

[@tumbles94]

I have had these brakes for over a month now on my e-ride pro ss and still really happy with them. Mine do not make any noise and that was one thing I really liked compared to stock. I am also going to order an extra set or two of the brake pads so I will always have some. They do stop very nice and you can abuse them and no brake fade. Oh and I ordered mine direct from Volvendo on their website in Italy and got them pretty quick.

[@logan-taylor]

glad to hear they're holding up!! They're ridiculously powerful haha

[@shockadellick]

[@Sunspot-19]

The brakes these bikes come with are on par with installing Toyota SR5 brakes on an F350 Super Duty... Good to see there are brakes being offered to make these awesome bikes actually safe to play with.

[@ameenwahal]

You get the old rotors , the new rotors now thinker and more service area just like a motorcycle brake . Mine just arrived today .

[@LuckyO97]

Where at? I want them hahaha

[@ameenwahal]

@@LuckyO97 i ordered them directly form there website, they are insane best upgrade ever

[@MioRissolo]

the noise is contamination from spilling the teeniest bit of dot fluid on the rotors. brakes are usually bled without the pads in

[@logan-taylor]

i took the pads out to bleed the rear, but must have gotten it dirty somehow!

[@staktikis]

if you wanna fix the brake rubbing on the rotors try to loosen up youre wheels and hold down on the brakes and tighten them back up. It will center the rotors

what happened? did it get resolved? So sorry to hear that, i’ve never heard anything bad about them before so that’s disappointing to hear :(

[@russellzauner]

@@logan-taylor naw, I think they just bit off more than they could chew THEN the situation got bad for everyone THEN made the unfortunate decision to stiff arm people who wanted to simply just return theirs, new in the box (or even get a refund on the news that delivery was all the old stuff and failure rate would be HIGH - I had not picked it up yet but I was going to lose it if I didn't at that point)...just saying that I've dealt with 3 different dealers and ewheels is the only one of the three that if I was still qualifying vendors back on my engineering team that I would say is okay to be on the list to buy from. Hey if they still want to make it right, I've still got zero miles on my S22. I'm not a bridge burner, just an anecdotal advisor. I vote with my wallet, there are several vendors and companies I won't do business with for many different reasons (most of the time it's human rights violations). There are many other dealers, I'm not choked out.

[@VIGGZEN14]

yo, do you have any tip on how to change color on my surron? ik powder coating exist but thats probably to hard for me. it would be perfect if you know like a full wrap or something like that

[@limitlessstunts]

Is it possible to run the Rippin moto caliper bracket with the VS caliper on the rear so you could keep the 250 mm rear rotor?

[@logan-taylor]

unfortunately not - the mounting holes for the Volar Sport are much wider, so they need a special bracket or adapter. I might just run longer bolts + spacers to make the spacing correct for a 250!

[@limitlessstunts]

@@logan-taylor Dang. Okay thanks!

[@benni16it]

they have upgraded the discs now.. new kits come with 3mm thick rotors insteat of the 2.3mm and 228mm on the back with a wider area front and back to cover the entire break pad. guess thats the better option then a thinner 250mm rotor.

[@Joe-72]

You're great at editing video, for KZbin. I just can't understand the point of testing brakes on the apshalt with cross tires. It's nonsenses and unfortunate and pointless. Before you try some breaks, just start with decent tires for the road. And they barely exist on that bike. But I hope to find the best breaks for my Talaria Sting with road tires (aka, supermot').
