I finally install the disk breaks on the Honda Ruckus. I didn't expect it to be easy but there are some snags you can run into. My advice is to make sure you have all the right parts and the right tools. Feel free to comment if you have questions on how I did something.
NOTE: I am not an expert but more of an enthusiast who is trying to build experience. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments or resources like 49ccScoot forums on the internet (Great Place!)

I did and went to the garage that day and said ... “he’s right” , I couldn’t find the comment or else I would have credited you

Found out theres front drum adapters that allow you to use your oem front brakes on any rim you want,theyre alot cheaper. Then again discs are better for stopping.

@EbolaSquirrel 4 жыл бұрын

Oh lmao you already had that.

Yea on a stock rim , I have the adaptor :) a hub with drum is expensive.

That just made me feel like I should be working on a bike or scooter how ever you want to classify. Like the upgrade don't over break and throw yourself off 😂

To late , slid in some leaves but didn’t drop or loose control (to much)

Was there anything else needed to prepare the rim other than new tire, valve stem install, and pressing the bearings?

Hi ceasar i know hard put on tires on rim because i did that back in past & now 17" rims on bike cycle by hand rope too.

Looks good. A tyre valve tool is literally just a couple of bucks. If you are replacing a brake hose get a vacuum bleeder. Saves a lot of trouble. If you tie the lever back over night it will let any remaining air out too.

I’m gonna tie it tonight , yea I need a tire valve tool

@@SmallEngineVelocity not too tight. Just enough to pull the lever back. It doesn't need lots of pressure

Looks good! I just replaced my front rim and fork but the rim isn't centered, is yours?

His looks centered, he used the NCY wheel though. Mine isn’t centered either, kind of afraid to ride it.

Hey where did you get the front foot pegs from

@ezurmnd 3 жыл бұрын

My question will be how tight did you get the axle nuts? Because if i tight mine all the way then the front wheel wont spin freely so i got it hand tight but im afraid that thing comes off

@SmallEngineVelocity 3 жыл бұрын

Buy the NCY front axel. You can put cutter pins in it.

If you look up the NCY kit I'm pretty sure the caliper is smaller. Similar in size to what's stock on the Groms if I'm not mistaken. But at least now you have some good stopping power. You definitely needed it lol

It was pretty strong and scared me when I pulled it like it was a drum

@@davidl5882 a built 171cc is only 1k. 6 grand is a whole lot of money if you’re doing it yourself. Unless that includes the cost of the bike. The 6 is about right.
