I agree. There’s a very big difference between someone making noise and someone participating actively to answer questions or raise important issues, opinionated or not. Stefan is the latter. For the record, I also find it quite irritating for someone to be reviving old threads for questions...

A good feeling and I’m sure you saved yourself a lot of money in the process. Nice work, 3!

Ooh, Base, that’s an interesting point. I’ve never used a torque wrench on my bike… But, for the record, I have yet to find a torque rating for anything on my Juiced bike except the torque sensor mounting bolts in the rear dropout (where it’s clearly marked). That’s a little ironic, don’t you...

Hey, @Ringo9, I’m not sure where this stands with you at the moment, but to clarify… If the Magura rotor has the same radius between the inner and outer part of the ring as the Shimano (like you measured in your picture), and it has the same thickness, then you should be fine using the stock...

I’m pretty sure a passport is an alternative.

I installed one set of pads on my rear wheel today. Lots of effort prepping (removing rear wheel, removing/cleaning rotor, cleaning the caliper) and installing the new pads. But, I didn’t have to do any work on the caliper/hose/fluid… At least as far as I can tell. I’ve only spun the rear...

That’s terrific, Don. Anywhere from Sept through mid-Oct. should be a lovely time of year to be down in DC. Congrats on being selected for the Honor Flight, and thank you for your service. I won’t go into the sadness I have about how Vietnam vets were welcomed home, but I will say that it’s...

Hi Kraner. I have no experience with 4-piston brakes, but I fail to see how that would improve your situation if wear is the problem. I would check, though, are both pistons currently working? If once piston is jammed you would get uneven wear on your pads, but your braking power would...

I resemble that remark.

Actually, it’s the bright side. Congrats on making the transition and jettison any and all thoughts that you’re “cheating” or whatever with an ebike. What matters is that you’re in the saddle. Love that bike. Terrific. Giant really makes some great hardware!

Jeremy, you and I have a similar situation. Not that I care about the overall mileage, but I will roll over 3K this month (if I can fix my brakes, that is! :D ) after 1.5 years on Fättie! Loving every minute! I would make a couple of addenda to Phoenix’s comment. I think it’s really...

Thanks so much, 3xdl!

Yup, my kit will be here tomorrow and I can finish the job. I’m going to leave the seals in place as I don’t really see an easy way to get them out and replace them. Thanks, Chris. 🤞

Got the second piston out (worked it out with a pocket knife). Anyway, I’m cleaning everything up but need to know how to put it back into commission. I’ll check youtube for some instructions on filling/bleeding. Wish me luck edit: OK, looks pretty easy, but I need a brake kit. Wish me...

Oh well, it doesn’t matter since I can’t dislodge the piston on the other side anyway. Maybe that’s why the thing wasn’t working right to begin with. I’ll keep working on it, but I cannot dislodge the star screws holding the caliper together, and I can’t get the other piston out, so I think...

D’oh! OK, so I really cocked it up this time. I pulled the disc pads again in preparation for the arrival of the new ones, but this time one of the pistons came out and now hydraulic fluid (I think) has squirted out. Clearly I wasn’t supposed to let the piston come out of its housing. I’m...

Wow… Carbon tubes with Titanium connectors. Those are some super cool MTBs!!!

I was joking because the picture made it look like you had the sculpture sitting on the rack. :)

I think I’d be inclined to look toward bluetooth or ultra-wideband (UWB) as wireless transports for ebikes. Both are short-range and seem appropriate to the task. Maybe there are others, but I don’t know. Base, I see that there’s already problems with standardization in the existing ebike...

That’s a lot of weight you’re carrying on that rack, JG! :D
