I worked for Control Data many years ago. They used pure alcohol, 196 proof ever-clear, to clean and remove oil or other contaminants from electronics boards and components. I refurbished damaged large industrial storage drives. Rubbing alcohol contains oil or glycerin that leaves a residue when the alcohol , which is generally 70%, evaporates. Ever-clear is more expensive but leaves behind zero residue.

Thanks Jeremiah, I'm looking forward to you doing the fronts too. I would do them both at the same time, just for new and new! I like seeing your riding partner keeping pace with you. He doesn't let you get ahead and he knows the camera angles very well!

Great video very descriptive. I discovered just yesterday that my brake pads were sitting above the rotor by about a third resulting in a 33% loss of rear braking power. I have been contemplating upgrading to these exact calipers for better braking but now that I see this helped you marginally with the same issue I had, I am ordering these calipers tonight.

I, too, did the HB-100 upgrade on front and rear. Not wanting to experience the spoke interference that Sonny Whitehurst had when installing the front caliper, I upgraded my front rotor to 180mm to move the caliper further away from the spokes. Everything went together perfectly without any problems whatsoever. I love the easy installation of the new hydraulic calipers when compared to getting the mechanical calipers aligned to the rotor. Once and done with the hydraulics! Thank you Jeremiah for your inspiration.

Hi, I got my XP 2.0 last Saturday. I put Zoom X Tech hydros on both ends. The 4 month wait was more than worth it. I have every mod you do. This bike is so sweet. I almost forgot to remove the washer when I changed the freewheel. This bike is worth twice what they are charging for it. I have 91 miles on it so far. I also followed the observation & knocked a 16th off the bracket. We have a machine shop.

I got myself a SAMEBIKE xwxl09 which looks almost the same as the lectric xp. The stock mech breaks wasn't good, so I had to get hydraulic breaks for it but realised that I needed to get the motor cut off switch to function which I had to order it separately. Then the hydraulic cables were too short, and had to get new cables setup with the bike tech to get a good fit. I had to install the engine cut-off etc works well and all, but was a hassle to install. If I only knew these existed I would have spent only less than half of what I did to upgrade the whole thing. I got them installed now on my wife's HIMO and works awesome! great vid!

My front stock Tektro mechanical caliper died after about 15 months and 1600 miles. I babied them, they had original pads with plenty of life, they had about the same amount of pad at 1600 miles as yours at 300, but the caliper failed. The install was a piece of cake. It almost took as long getting the bike on the stand as changing the caliper out. At first, the spokes rubbed on the caliper, but I just loosened the mounting allen bolts and pushed the caliper away from the spokes a hair and they don't rub anymore. I used the original mounting brackets. The install only took 6-7 minutes and it's the first time I've done a caliper change and I haven't even watched the video in about a year. I am very impressed. These brakes stop the bike significantly faster than the Tektro's. Hopefully, they will last longer than the stock brakes and just as a note, my original pads didn't have the top not wear and the top of the pads don't extend above the rotor on the new Zoom install.

Hi, been watching most of your videos on this XP reviews, and maintenance tips because I have an ebike with similar looks and features... About the brake system you installed, maybe the mounting was designed to accommodate for a 180mm diameter of disc rotors, if your XP currently has 160mm disc. If you plan to replace them with the 180mm disc, it should go all the way inside the brake caliper. Ride safe and enjoy👍🚴😊🇵🇭

Thanks for the great tutorial!! Looks like a no brainer. I see that you haven't got a solution for the speedo problem. What does XP say? Watching other bikes being reviewed there apparently a sensor that tells the controller how fast you are going, could that be out of adjustment/lost? In your earlier videos, you pointed out that the miles traveled were off. Mine was also off, but by changing the wheel size in program 06, it's pretty close to an app on the phone.

If you look at the new brackets they are marked with the size you want to use the one marked F180 R160 for the rear wheel. It looks like you put the bracket for the front on the back. The other one is marked F160 R140. Check the markings on the bracket of the one you have not changed yet. Maybe yours were not marked but the set I got was.

My new ones were not marked but the old ones are and I tried them all and used the one that lined up the best. I’m pretty sure it’s the correct one because the other brackets were not even close.

Adjust the cables at the wheel end, not the lever end, you can end up cutting the motor which will give you an on screen error message, Pull the cable tight from the brake end, tighten the cable with the caliper lever held slightly in, or use the adjusters at the brake end . Also, if your cable frays changing over you can feed a new one down the outer sleeve from the bar end without removing the whole thing. Best to cap the cables before adjusting or tightening to lessen the chances of cable fray though.

I did look but without taking the pad out of calipers it is hard to tell, however it did appear that the pad may be slightly above the disc. Once I get the new calipers and remove the stock calipers, I'll let you know if the pads are not completely covering the disc. If they aren't, I will be grinding the mounting bracket enough to get the pads aligned for complete contact with the disc.

I did the same brake swap about a week ago. I'm pretty happy with mine but have a running battle keeping the front brake from developing a very loud squeak after a few miles. I've cleaned the rotors and tried realigning the calipers but it keeps coming back. I think the next step is to replace the pads with resin. I found some on Amazon with good reviews for less than $10 total for front & back, so I'll give that a shot. Also, the front brake seemed noticeably stronger than stock, the rear slightly less than stock. Weird, huh? Another great video, keep us posted on the display issue and when you switch out the front brake also.

I definitely will thanks. My new brakes came with resin pads and I can’t comment on the front because I haven’t changed it yet but the back no squeaks at all!

Also mine were not centered from the factory. Loosen mounting bolts, squeeze handle and re tighten to center. If they still rub, need to back off the tension. Mine never rub.

You can't change anything unless you move the bracket mounting hole. All interchange parts are based off of those two mounting holes and brackets are adjusted for different size rotors.

Hey bro good video I've got a question for you my bike was squeaking I have a ebkarocy ebike and the front wheel was squeaking and I believe I adjust the spokes too tight because now there's a wobble in it how do you true the wheel back to its normal State the easiest way

@vintagemxer9165 3 жыл бұрын

After adjusting the 2mm screw on the rear brake I was expecting you to spin the wheel to confirm there is no brake pad scraping.

Great video as always 👍. How many miles did you have in your old pads before you changed them?

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

I talk about that in the video. I had 300 miles on my bike when I changed them but as you can see in the video they had life left in them. That’s why I did not change the front yet because they were still in great shape.

Jeremiah, Your cable housing became too short when, at 12:41, you decided to use the new bracket and reversed it to shift the caliper. It didn't seem to help you much and caused the cable housing adjustment issue. The frame mounting holes for the brake bracket are not placed precisely, and are causing your pad to rotor alignment problem. At this point, the best (only?) place to address this is by machining/grinding/sanding the mounting bracket to fit.

@JeremiahMcintosh 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome, a lot of the squealing may be that they just need adjusted or try a different type of brake pad. The electrics come with a ceramic metallic pad which are great for stopping but very noisy maybe try a semi metallic pad or organic pad if you don’t have a lot of hills to go down

I think I accidentally broke my brake pads in pretty good I rode them for a couple hundred miles without adjusting the brakes and they almost wouldn't stop until I adjusted them but when I finally did squeak free and It'll throw you over the handlebars if you pull to hard as a guy that grew up with v brakes those tecktro on an XP are pretty damn good right out of the box.

go to the bike shop and get a longer cable housing , this will work better on future adjustment , their not that expensive

@JeremiahMcintosh 4 жыл бұрын

I believe that cable would’ve worked it’s definitely long enough it’s just the way it’s wrapped with all the other cables. I was not able to bring it in closer to the bike up front without unwrapping it. Break adjustment should not be an issue from the bolt on the caliber that I show in my video which takes place of the other two bolts that are normally used for adjustment on the cable.
