No mention of brand in the listing, but the caliper says "Winzip" on it lol |
I prefer winrar |
or 7zip |
4 piston 220 2.3mm thick rotors. It's like... One step below moto at that point. |
I want to know if there are any downsides to a hydraulic disc brake over mechanical. |
Not really |
Very low maintenance imo |
Worst part about hydros is bleeding |
My friend's Ariel Rider hydraulic brakes leaked and don't function, which is what I worry about if I want to purchase one. |
Mechanical brakes fail too. |
I understand, but it’s the difference between a solid and liquids. |
hydros have better feel, and more controllable, and are able to apply more force. mechs are simplier and easier to fix on the side of the road. but hydrops are reliable as long as u get a decent set. the same tech thats in motorcycles, cars, etc is the same as on the bike hydros, just smaller |
theres a reason why finding anything still using cable brakes is difficult. the exception being some ebrakes (which is straight connected) |
That's good. Are there electronically actuated hydraulic brakes so that I can implement ABS? |
prob, if u got a few grand |
they have electronic automatic shifters |
and other things |
wouldnt be surprised if theres ABS mtb brakes |
Mostly wanted a way for it to be activated electronically because I want regen to do most of the work if there is adequate stopping distance. Right now, I have my brake caliper adjusted to close after the lever is pushed in half way, so I can have regen until that point. |
oh thats standard on any decent controller |
u just get a brake lever with a switch or mag sensor |
and itll trigger ur regen |
most major brands sell levers with the ebrake switch in it, or u can add ur own external switch sensor |
or just use a button |
which is what im doing |
rear brake is regen, has a button to activate it, though i might replace it with a m365 lever to do variable regen |
Yeah that's what I have right now, I'm just saying that I have the cable loosened a bit so that I can lightly press the lever for regen, and push in all the way to use the physical brake. |
I can definitely tell the wheel locks up sometimes if I fully squeeze the brakes, so I do want to experiment with ABS in the future. |
There is a lot less need for this with hydros because the modulation and control is so much better. |
Also remember that ABS doesn't actually make you stop faster, just maintain more steering control. After you've used 'em a bit you'll be able to do almost as good a job as if you did have ABS. |
It'll probably be semi-standard on bikes in 15 years. |
I could definitely see it being useful for keeping the front wheel locking up and sending the rider over the handlebars as-over-tea-kettle. |
There is a proprietary Bosch system. I mean they already made car ABS so might as well make it an ebike thing |
It works well |
Do you have a link to this? |
As in to the product, no. It's only on prebuilt bosch ebikes. Here's a link to bosch site tho |
https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/products/abs |
bosch ebikes as in bikes with their motor/system, not literally bosch branded bikes |
* |
bosch abs cant be retrofitted apparently. Only for bosch bikes that already have it |
So this uses a special brake handle that can release pressure when the wheel is locked? |
The pressure releasing is done by a little box on the fork |
Broke my aliexpress chain guide |
It worked but man, fuck this thing |
The metal was so soft, it was impossible to mount properly |
I probably wont be able to get the rest of it off either, seeing how soft the heads of the bolts are |
rip |
guided itself to the afterlife |
its my fault, I slammed the bike in reverse while it was stuck/loose. No regrets, its been a pain and has contributed to a broken derailleur hanger. |
why did you need a chain guide in the first place? :thonk: Chain was moving around too much? |
bbshd stock chainring, occasionaly chain drops. Like once a week or so |
Oh I've only had chain drops going 30kmh on cobble road but that was torture for the entire bike. It drops as soon as i let off throttle at the end because i guess the pulling tension is gone üòÇ |
You need a clutched derailleur üòÖ |
Ive seen videos where the chain droops like crazy when you let go of the throttle, like touching the frame and it could maybe even get into the spokes if its really bad |
For me, the chain drops when im shifting, usually. Otherwise its fine |
doesnt drop at 30kmh on cobble lol |
Oh no i meant it dropped on the front chainring. Now thinking about it idk how that tensioner would help the front anyway, probably not much. The deore derailleur is fine kept adjustment for 4 years and a bafang swap so that's quite good |
A clutched derailleur will definitely prevent it dropping from the chainring when you let go of the throttle. |
The chain still has momentum as its stopping |
It should get a bit more wrap on the chainring which helps it drop less and should also keep the chain more centered on the chainring. |
Did you make it too long? |
No, it dropped just the same when my first chain was too short a year ago. |
Probably related to the chainline on this bike. Its a good chainline but sometimes it just slips off with the help of the derailleur moving. |
my drivetrain is quite worn anyway, and chainline is trash, so I'll just sacrifice it this winter and just do food delivery on studded tires for some extra cash to burn on the bike later |
I like how you think |
:FeelsBanMan: |
I probably wouldn't survive the winter because of inhaling all that |
q u a l i t y a i r while riding. |
Unless i just use a respirator type mask so it looks like I'm delivering food straight from a soviet bunker fallout satellite state of the former union |
If you don't have a fram high flow air filter rubber cemented to your face, are you even really breathing?! |
Found this at the bike posts… |
I wouldnt judge you for it, wear it lmao |

These are also great as part of my winter get-up. |
Winter is the only time I use it. |

How do I fuck up and break my cranks so I can have a reason to buy löekkie cranx |
Step 1. Go down an extreme hill |
Step 2. Make a hard right turn at the bottom of the hill, with your right pedal on the ground |
Step 3. Break your pedal and maybe the crank thread and maybe your leg |
Step 4. Profit??? |
the bottoms of my cranks are already scraped flat lol |
Do a sick jump onto a rock and land on the crank |
this means that leg = broke |
Crank, leg, same thing |
One time I had cranks with fucked up threads and the pedal fell off so I had to pedal on the crank itself |
I'll never forget that challenge |
Acoustic? lol |
I think so because otherwise I would just throttle heh |
Why? |
I want to try out the fancy crank offset |
step 4: insurance claim profit!!! ü•≥ |
@sgasgyxdd behold. The ultimate bike workshop. 3 chairs utilized |
noooooo it's straight steerer not tapered, gg |
guess I'll die |
throw the whole frame awayüòÇ |
holy fuck, what |
One chair supports the bike (it rests on the bbs02 so the front wheel can be lifted. The bar is strapped using a retractable zip tie. |
The fork was held up with a lanyard during disassembly so it wouldn't fall on it's head like me when I was 5 (see effects above). |
Overall pretty easy to remove a fork installing one is harder for sure |
