    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    One more detail: While troubleshooting this, my LBS put on a different front brake caliper and the clicking was still identical and again only with 2 piece rotors.

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    Replaced the rotor and pads (with Ice Tech pads) at the same time, yes. The clicking does not happen randomly - only when applying the brake. The clicking is identical whether it is the first brake application after a day of the bike being unused, or if I’ve been braking heavily for an hour...

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    I did try hard cornering when the rotor was on the bike (a smaller, one piece rotor is on now) and could not make it click. Always required at least some brake lever actuation to get it to click. The repetition rate of the click pulses is proportional to speed, too.

    I forgot to mention but the clicking sound is only audible when braking from at least ~12MPH. And that the sound goes completely away when putting in a one piece rotor.

    I watched him install all the rotors we tried. They were definitely tightened down. Additionally, the exact same sound was produced by multiple different two piece rotors.

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    I had the 203mm Ice Tech rotor mentioned here installed and it emits a clicking sound in use that I find highly annoying. My LBS tried multiple rotors, bleeding, etc, and discovered that any rotor with a 2 piece design produces this clicking sound. Put in a one piece rotor and it’s back to being...

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    Does anyone know if the stock brake pads are resin or metal? And does anyone prefer one over the other? I’m curious if the increased weight of an ebike vs non e-bike makes people lean towards the supposedly better stopping power of metal pads.

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    For the front wheel, can you link the mount you used? I just ordered the 203mm rotor. For the rear wheel, because I have the Rohloff hub, the brake disc mounts with only 4 bolts in a square configuration. All the Ice Tech rotors I can find have 6 bolts, even then 180mm one. So, unless I’m...

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    What about an improved rear brake disc for Rohloff bikes? On my BR-M8000 Delite Mountain Rohloff, the rear disc has only 4 mounting bolts... Only seeing 6 bolt Ice Tech rotors. Any suggestions?

    Lumos Helmet

    Received the below back from Lumos: “You should be able to adjust the straps, both on the left and on the right-hand side.”. No explanation as to HOW to adjust the left strap, just that I “should” be able to. Photos attached of the fixed left strap. It’s hard to tell from the photos but there is...

    Lumos Helmet

    I just noticed that the helmet Lumos shipped me (accidentally, instead of the Matrix I ordered), the Lumos Street, has been removed for sale from their web site. You can’t find the product from their front page at all. I was able to google the link to the product page for it in case anyone is...

    Lumos Helmet

    Glad to hear I’m not the only one! I genuinely cannot understand why any helmet manufacturer would ship a non-adjustable left strap, especially in a premium priced helmet like the Lumos.

    Lumos Helmet

    To Lumos’s credit, their support system (accessible only via email, but those emails go into a trouble ticket system) has been very responsive to me, replying usually within 1-3 business days. It hasn’t been long enough for them to reply to my issue yet but given the problem is the design of...

    Lumos Helmet

    I ordered the Lumos Matrix helmet, and they accidentally shipped me the Street. So, be aware of that when you deal with Lumos. That said, receiving the Street was sort of a happy accident, as I think the Matrix would be too flashy for me. HOWEVER I highly do not recommend EITHER helmet for one...

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    I ask because the brakes on my much cheaper Trek Police Electric work and feel much better. Maybe something is wrong with the brakes on my Delite, but I wanted to at least be aware of my upgrade options for the brakes on my Delite. Literally no answers whatsoever on this forum? Seriously?

    Delite GX (2018) Brake upgrade help.

    What are the highest end brakes available that fit on the 2018 Delite GX? Is it the set it comes with, or are there better?

    Nyon Retrofit

    If I didn’t already have a spare, I’d buy yours. To every Nyon user out there: you can’t count on being able to buy a new Nyon if yours breaks. You may be down for weeks if you don’t have a spare. Or at least a spare Intuvia. So take advantage of opportunities to buy a spare when they pop up!
