    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    Mud takes a fairly aggressive knob to overcome no doubt, I won't be in mud that much so went moderate and hope it is the right tire. I think the Zen is pretty good right out of the box, but I went with the fox fork as I know how to service that brand and feel I can keep it going for a long time...

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    Judging from your pics you know exactly what I'm talking about lol. You are correct about the Zen as I have a Photon on the way. I worked at the University where they were developed so got to see the early Samurai prototypes and wanted one ever since. It's going to be a long few weeks waiting...

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    I was wondering if you had 2 or 4 piston brakes mostly. Your assumptions are correct that the pads are usually bigger(wider) and better managed with the extra pistons farther apart. Some of them even have two different sized pistons to compensate for the uneven forces applied to the pads(my SLX...

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    Curious, which model of Tektro brakes do you have? I believe the Photon has E725(4 piston caliper) on the latest ones.

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    much good advice here. For sure remove caliper and pads to do a bleed. You don't want brake oil anywhere near pads/ rotors. Just find a youtube video for Shimano bleed for reference. What you describe is for sure air/lack of fluid in lines, most likely from overheating on the big descent you...

    This will be my first ebike so I don't know what a motor whine sounds like when riding on an ebike, but I'm wondering if its possible that what you think is a motor whine is really the same thing that Drew found? It tricked him into thinking it was the motor after all. Would be a pretty easy...

    Thanks Drew, as a retired Electrician I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used tape to “repair “ things lol. I should mention that it comes in white too if you’re into colour matching. My bike is going to be a shade of blue so might be a little harder to match. I’m tired of being passed by...

    Hi Drew, I have a Photon coming in the next batch. Being as I'll be spending most of my time at higher speeds I'm interested in details of how you silenced the whistle. Any chance you can share a pic of your mods? Gonna be a long several weeks waiting for my bike.. cheers, Terry.
