It's MUCH easier to push the new mineral oil in from the BOTTOM instead of filling from the top. That way the air is pushed up and out as you fill the brake system and reservoir at the brake lever. Just fill the bottom syringe with mineral oil, open the "clamp" on the top syringe, and push the fluid through. Easy peasy.

[@DemonKong830]

I was wondering the same

[@cereiter]

That's how we filled the brakes on the Cessna we used to fly skydivers...It works real fast too

[@jasonsierchio1167]

Yessir! They came on the new e-bike. I played with them for 2 hours yesterday.. couldn't get the air out of the line... I think they're defective... possibly a bad o-ring??? IDK... I've bleed them using 2 different methods... still a TON of air... I've been in contact w/ Velowave (the bike company) since I got the bike... and they're sending me out replacements... BUT they're coming from China.. so it'll be a while before I have rear brakes that work... Soon as I got the bike, I put 35 PSI in the tires and the front tube EXPLODED after 5 minutes... I haven't had much luck... Got a flat in the rear Friday night... Got out of work early (1:30am) and ran over a 4" nail...

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

😯😯 What a bummer man, hopefully everything gets sorted out. I think you will like the next ebike!! Fatty magic with a folding middle 👍

[@coldaleonthefrontporch6748]

It looks like those Zoom brakes are a good candidate for a gravity bleed. I did it on a rear Shimano with a long aquarium tube on the caliper nipple going off to a can to catch the waste. I left the rotor and rear tire on, spilled about 2 drops of oil and got great results. The syringe at the lever would just make gravity a little faster.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Good input man, we may try that on the next. Thanks for watching and LOVE THE CHANNEL NAME!!! HA HA

[@JackalSSD]

Great job! Very helpful how you got to the point and had great video shots for illustrations.

😯😯😯 Man we are not responsible for any damages and or losses!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😁

[@polakis1975]

Nice, a question i have. What is the reason you put the red strap holding the lever back squeezing the brake before you put the screw back on? I have not seen that in any other bleeding video? Can you explain that in detail? What that does?

[@olroymtbetc.6117]

Haven't made the hydro upgrade thing yet. I have some good TRP Spyke mechanical disc brakes, levers, rotors, calipers, dics, (180>f - 160>r), ceramic pads, Jagwire cables and housings. My buddies that have riden my bike, say they're not quite as good as their hydro brakes, but, pretty darn close. Adjustment and setup were easy enough, haven't looked back since. Pricey but without hydro problems. Just my humble opinion. Now, after that being said, this video has me thinking hydro....... hmmmmm......... Thanks a lot, now I gotta get new brakes, Dangit!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man watching our stuff will do that or make you not want something!!LOL But the hydro brakes are very nice and lighter overall. The immediate stopping power is great, yeah you have to bleed overtime and all but man at $43-$80.....Not a bad and safe upgrade:) Have a good one OL' Roy!!! Cool your watching some older vids!!!

[@Hoggdoc1946]

Jag PRO cables make huge difference it the feel, especially the rear brakes.

[@383uts]

Why do you put a strap on the lever? Is it so you can fill it slightly more before you put the screw cap on for a more firm lever feel?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Yes, that and keeping some fluid in the pistons.

[@Matrucos3]

How would you compare the Zoom brakes to the Shimano MT200? (BTW I was dying laughing with the slo-mo squirt to the face at the end! )

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Lol!! I'm glad you watched that long ha ha I was hoping people would make it that far in!! Very funny but man the zooms arent nearly as strong as the 200's but not too far off, for the price we got them at I would def buy another set.

[@chrissr318]

[@daifanshi5564]

We ordered these brakes from aliexpress and of course they came reversed despite the product description. The 1400mm rear hose is too short to run under the BB of the schwinn boundary like your taff, but we chose to reroute the tubing under the top tube and down the seat-stay which allowed us to stick with 1400mm. We just needed to swap the hoses at the master cylinder side. We did not do a bleed and it is working well. Can you tell us which shimano barb and olive you used for your hose replacement? I think it will probably be BH59 as used in the shimano MT200. Thanks.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Bh59 set is it man, we ordered. Tube set and it was labeled that. Hope it goes well and surprised it was nice and tight even though you didnt bleed! That's a plus, thanks for commenting man and hope to see you back here for CHRISTMAS!!

[@Ultimaniacx4]

I just put a pair of these on my Aluminum Comp. They're starting to show up on Amazon with the hoses swapped for North America so hopefully that takes care of the contaminated oil problem.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man I heard that too, I would love to get some more. Especially if they are the correct way! A little hard to switch, when they are available we will def get some! Thanks man, they are not too bad.

[@andreglud]

The bolt of the refilling valve that tightens on the zoom handlebars, snapped before tightening it. Now I have the tip stuck inside my zoom brake..

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

[@brooksridesbikes]

That intro was awesome lol

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thank you Mr.Carson!

[@Manwichman]

If u have problems with the rear brake, take the rear tire off and squeeze the brake without the bleed blocks and start filling!, If u put too much in it'll ooze out before u completely tighten the bleed screw back in the master. Also, zip tie the lenders in over night, put the bike in the stands and angle the bike nose up towards the levers. Tap the lines and let it sit overnight, it'll be spongy in the morning and just add more oil and you should be good! Just a few hacks I've learned as I have magura and those can be notoriously tricky to dial in perfect but good luck to ya and be safe out there! 👍🙋

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thank you Mikey, very useful info man. It took a min and was getting worries, I actually left the strap on there over night lol, but thank you for the great info!!

[@tatianatyys9260]

I do not have this Zoom Brake Bleed kit, but I have an Ali Express one, the EZBleed kit. For all the brakes I’ve ever tried to bleed, worked fine. For bleed fluid, now I use Ambra Brake, with is a mineral oil base fluid designed for heavy machinery. It has a boiling point on 290 Celsius degrees and fully compatible with mineral oil brakes. Where I live it is easier to find then, than find a bike specific brake fluid. And also cheaper.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hmmm, I may look into that? May be a good video to try out other stuff. Thanks that sounds interesting

I tried to do this on an ebike without taking off wheel and the cylinder popped out. I tried to push back in but seems like fluid is leaking from cylinder.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤔🤔🤔So the cylinders on the inside of the caliper??? If so maybe a oring....

[@jamiegrant3258]

How do you adjust the brakes if you just have half tread on pads but don't have air in a line they are zoom HB something hydraulics, PS that's the way China does it they run backwards brakes so your was normal parts

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man I would just replace the pads for cheap$ But I would not know how to answer that, since they are hydraulic there may not be a lot of options. Now we completely understand that is the way they ride in china:) Thanks!!

[@dadbod4life]

[@davidruzzo5806]

I just installed the Zoom Xtech Hydraulic brakes on my MTB. They work EXCELLENT! No hassle, No bleeding, and they look AWSOME. Red calipers against the stainless rotors on a black frame, looks totally SICK! I also want to make another point on why hybrid (hydraulic/mechanical) brakes are a better choice, for my situation anyway. I have a 2019 Schwinn Taff that I rebuilt from the wheels up. I ordered two new rims from Schwinn at $22.00 a piece and new Shimano quick release hubs, new tires and tubes and rebuilt some nice wheels with stainless spokes. I put on an entire new cockpit, red handlebars, a new stem and locking hand grips. When I was thinking about changing out the mechanical disk brakes for hydraulic I naturally had to replace the integrated Shimano shifters/lever cluster that came stock on the bike. So, I bought a new 3x8 Shimano shifter set to put on the bars with the new hydraulic levers. Then I found out about the hybrid Zoom Xtech hydraulic brakes that use existing cable pull levers. I ended up putting my integrated Shimano shifter/lever cluster back on the bars and just running the brake cable to the Zoom Xtech hydraulic calipers. Instead of changing out the entire cockpit for a traditional hydraulic brake system I could use my existing Shimano shift/lever cluster with the new Zoom Xtech hydraulic brakes. The stopping force is UNBELIEVABLE! I'm so glad I decided to switch everything back to original so I could hook up the Xtech hydraulic brakes. I like the HUMPTY DUMPTY build you and wolf (Dad) did on the Taff. I would like to send you a picture of all the work I have done on my Taff. Believe it or not, I paid $189.00 for my Taff brand new at Walmart. To date my total expenses on the entire rebuild is $1,300.00. Let me know how I can shoot you a pic. Thanks buddy!

Question, the brass olive, does it specifically have to be zoom, or I can use a shimano brass olive after cutting my hose to fit?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I used my shimano man, it worked perfectly:)

[@davidruzzo5806]

The only problem I am finding with these brakes is that it is sometimes very difficult to switch out the rear hose on the lever because the zoom factory crushes the olive down so tight it makes it almost impossible to get the hose out. Secondly, you must be very careful not to strip the retaining screw when replacing it or your reservoir will leak. I found this out the hard way, I now have to re-order a left brake lever, and of course, it will come with a front brake line that will have to be replaced for the rear. Seems this process never ends...

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Ha ha ha! Very true man, never ending and very damn hard to get the hose out!!! Lol had dad holding one end with channel locks! Good thing I ordered a seperate hose kit.

[@davidruzzo5806]

Lol Shimano mineral oil and drug store stuff does not take the same temps. If you’re casually riding I’m sure it works just fine, but if your doing heavy riding with lots of downhill braking you’ll smoke drug store oil.

But compared to the 200's they arent as strong overall but still a steel if you can get them around 40 dollar area. I would buy some more if I needed some.

[@josephfox4818]

I have watched this twice and have a question. Which style of olive did you guys use when making the rear brake line? BH59, BH90 or Techtro style. I have to replace a line on a set of these Zooms as well.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey brother here is an affiliate link, it was the Bh59 style. This is a U.S. Seller and doesnt seem like a bad rice:) Thanks for asking ebay.us/tW0gFP

[@suvespa]

The olives are the same for 90 n 59. What's different is the insert. The inserts or needles correspond to the inner diameter of the brake hose. BH 90 has smaller inner diameter as compared to BH 59. OD are the same. No problem if you are changing the whole brake hose not so when you are just shortening it. So zoom brake hose uses which insert/needle?

Ok, well it sounds like you have air in the lines...If it gets better after squeezing a few times then it may be air, if it does not firm up and still persists, try bleeding them and keeping the levers mounted on the bar and removing calipers from bike, now be sure and tap the calipers while letting fluid flow thru, it should free up any air bubbles. 2 person job!!

When you removed the breakpads did u fully straighten the thing that locks it? (The pin looking thing)

Yes straightened it out completely, they are called cotter pins. Meant to do that😉😉😉

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I think we paid like $8 or $9 dollars.

I just can’t get brake to have pressure

Try unscrewing reach adjustment screw all the way out, then push the piston in a few times with a flathead, re attach the lever and give it a squeeze. Good Luck

Early for me today, I'm on a roll! 😂 That intro was getting a bit lairy!😂😂 Funny to watch though and good to see you can both laugh about it! How was that faceful of mineral oil? I bet you didn't expect that when you woke up that morning 😂😂 Very comprehensive looking kit, should be able to bleed anything with that. Must do mine one day... Great video as always, take care 😎🍻

[@mannythegoat4463]

Zoom is so cheap that I can afford it but the problem is I don't know how to bleed hydraulic brakes

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man they are cheap but bleeding would be about an every year thing most like if you ride the hell out of it.... Have you thought about the hydraulic cable actuated brakes??

[@mikethomas6051]

i know its late but buy some cheap shimano brakes like mt200 or m395s, one way bleeding is simple as it comes.

[@colemiller9938]

Taff Tuesday!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

You know it👍🚵‍♂️

[@davidruzzo5806]

Hey Jeremiah, just wanted to let you know before ordering a new brake set from ZOOM. I just found a hydraulic hybrid by ZOOM, it's called "XTECH". It's a Mechanical/Hydraulic brake. It is actuated through mechanical brake levers that attach to a hydraulic caliper. This way you do not need brake hoses and don't have to hassle with pulling crushed olives out of hydraulic levers and changing them around. You just simply set up the levers on the handlebars like regular mechanical brakes, run the cable and housing to the caliper and attach it like a regular mechanical brake. Only difference is the pistons inside the caliper are actuated by hydraulic fluid inside the caliper, so no messy bleeding is required. I'm gonna order me a set. You can find them for $46.97 for front and rear on ebay. Just thought you might want to do a video on how to set these brakes up. I think they are going to be a big seller because there is practically none to very little hassle setting them up. Thanks for listening bro. Go check them out...

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey David thanks for the heads up man, I have heard of them but though they were more expensive but man we will give you credit on that if we partake!! LOL Thanks man very cool

[@joshschow5848]

The into is amazing you should have it on every video. Really liked the video I’m actually going to get a upgrade list together for my boundary. It was going to be my dirt jumper but seeing Walmart jack up the price on the Axum by 200 bucks I guess no dirt jumper this year. 🤬🤬🤬 not happy with Walmart at all.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man we wanted that damn axum too and saw that price jump as well!!! No dropper😳

[@joshschow5848]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I know it sucks I really want it to be my trail bike. My wife said tonight just buy it 😂 but the extra 200 bucks just irritates me because your get nothing for the extra cash... they could put hydraulic disc brakes on it then maybe I would get over it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

If you break down the Axum especially now with the higher price, it's not a great deal. You are 100% correct on them needing to add some hydraulic brakes or something. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't it come with a dang freewheel as well? Thanks man

[@joshschow5848]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOSAxum has cassette and when it was 399.00 i felt it was a great deal but with the extra 200 bucks for nothing it’s a hard to get it

@@joshschow5848 Okay that's why we wanted the Axum at $399. I couldn't remember what it was that had us trying to order the Axum more than once, that was it. Well now it's down to the Schwinn trio of Taff $298, Boundary $248, and Aluminum Comp $224 plus a $70 dollar rear wheel with quick release and freehub. Thanks for the info, and hopefully you enjoy this Al Comp build that we are about to do.

5:00 to get to when they actually start working on the brakes

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Actually it's more like 6:30 when we start working on the brakes😂. People will probably be best suited using the time stamp in the description though because at 2:20 we show the kit that most people will need to bleed them🧑‍🔧. Do people look in the comments more than the description to find time stamps🤔? We have had a few people do what you did, and I'm not sure if it is a genuine attempt at being helpful 😀or a passive aggressive statement😈. Can you please clarify for us so we know if we should just put time stamps in the comments in the future. Thanks🥰👍
