A more objective comparison would also test heat loading, doing 10 stops back to back and see how the distance changes with heat. that is where the real advantage of the shimano pads comes into play.

Thank you from Australia I have the pads ordered your video will help when I change my pads.

@@freerfixedit I got both wheels’ sets in, but after a couple days, the front set has started to squeak, any idea why? They haven’t gotten wet yet. Also when I roll the bike back-and-forth really slowly I can sort of hear them rubbing. do I adjust the calipers in anyway, or maybe when you tighten the main bolt back in? Is there a certain technique for it?

@freerfixedit

Ай бұрын

@@ch40440 yeah, the squeaky pads may be from glazing. I noticed if it happened to me, if I rode and drug the brake slightly for about 50 feet or so about 2/3 times it would stop. Or you can remove pads and rub em on some sand paper. The rubbing may be from not having your brake caliper centered. I actually have a video on this about stopping squeak, but long story short, you want to hold you brake lever down while you tighten the 2 5mm caliper bolts. It should center your rotor better between the pads

Would you recommend these over the kool stop pads luna cycle just added for the talaria? The description they give on the site is they now have an ebike specific compound for better stopping power. Half the cost of the shimanos

@freerfixedit

Жыл бұрын

I haven’t tried the kool stop pads so I can’t say. Looks like they don’t have the cooling fins like the shimanos, so will probably fade more when they heat up. But for half the price, and if there compound stops as good as they claim, might be worth a shot. But I can speak for the shimanos and say they are great. Now that they’re worn in I can lock up the back brake with 1 finger no problem

having issues since day one (had a week) with brakes rubbing despite centering, bleeding, etc. noticed you have completely diff calipers than mine. mine are all black and dont have the big bolts on the side. fighting with talaria now to make it right. not sure why theyre shipping different calipers to people. mine was from this newest batch last week. noticed one of your followers just got the new batch with orange decals and has the red calipers as well. crazy there is no consistency. great vid btw! love the content

Yeah... They are shipping with different brakes, grips, rear fenders, graphics, and headlight connectors... these items dont affect performance, so they didn't inform anyone they were doing this... The calipers you have are still 4 piston calipers, so I dont think theyre worse quality than mine... I think Talaria is having a hard time keeping up with demand, and they had to source parts from other suppliers to keep up... just my guess!

Leme guess… good ole Bill on fb 😂 no, I didn’t. I just disconnected and removed all my sensors, and taped up the open connectors.

Won’t hurt and will prevent water from doing any shorting, but not necessary
