Shimano Brake Pads: amzn.to/41tBfQk

@DaBinChe Год назад

LOL. I ordered the same pads a week and a half ago and got it beginning of this week.

@Triggamike Год назад

Why Metal instead of Resin? Much love 🤙🏼

@DaBinChe Год назад

@@Triggamike metallic pads have more bite and last longer and have higher heat tolerance, down side is they can get noisy when wet and wear rotor faster

@freerfixedit Год назад

@@Triggamike resin pads will burn up quick with the weight and speeds of this bike. Metal last longer. There’s pros and cons to each but for this application, metal is better 🤙🏽

@TheCorrupterX Год назад

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.

@davidflanagan7214 Год назад

@ch40440 3 месяца назад

@@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 3 месяца назад

@@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

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

@justinmorales4201 Год назад

Literally the same here, feel like these are completely different bikes i also have the all black calipers as well as my headlight is the square connector aswell its crazy.

@freerfixedit Год назад

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!

@freerfixedit 5 месяцев назад

@@Theking-qx4zd shimano pads are the cheapest way to improve the brakes without spending a ton of money. I’ve also read that clones on Amazon for a fraction of the price are just as good. Also, the bikes ship with oil on the rotors to prevent rust. It’s a good idea to clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol to get rid of the oils. As well as centering the calipers. Check out my talaria playlist to see a video on how to do that. Hope this helps!

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 Год назад

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
