Hello there everyone this will be my first actual post here just wanted to say I'm happy and very excited to be a part of this community and to help out and add to the community is my goal alway
lots of amazing info here those really detailed posts are usually a several hr if not more for some affair mostly done in folks free time while not working or being with kids family etc kudos to all of you!
So basically I purchased (off amazon) a black Friday deal for $1299 its an amazing product overall but half my issue was fedex throwing it and not reading the darn box it was on its side upside down with the shipping skewer poking out nothing was like smashed per say but i had to literally take the smallest millimeter drill bit i own and do surgery drilling out the damn bottom half of the destroyed shipping skewer.
I took pictures contemplating my next move since im disabled and the bikes for getting to the DR and store etc and MAINYLY to build strength which for the record its been amazing for that just roll around in pedal assist 2 or 1 its really easy like that and i had her up to 35 mph flat with only like 24 psi in the tires as i took a little early morning single track trail ride but i have to take it easy as i cant throw too much money at it which brings me to the next point.
As stated the bike really solid overall but has zero braking power i had to bleed the fronts hoping it was just air in the lines better but somehow i lost pressure overnight so im in a rare position to semi-splurge on some either new rotors or a whole new setup id rather just get a kit and maybe keep these hydro Ronlung brakes around i just don't get the fact that they grab hard when working that is but over time i have to grab hard as hell to even get breaking started just weird i checked the usual culprit aka the piston popped out checked again no cigar or issues ther
Id like to purchase any suggestions on amazon ill post my current setup below its a 6 bolt pattern on the rotor mounts and they are 160mm stock, will upgrade the whole deal to some sram or Shimano or maybe even tektro or zoom on the cheap i heard zoom brakes are really solid can anyone guide me to options for possible tires on this bike they are currently CST fat tires the 26in x 4in width modules i need way more grip the cst are ok on road but i do much offroad throughs and even more if i start work at door dash very soon. Open to all suggestions to get this bike TO STOP as cheap as possible or Shimano or sram or similar.
