Lectric XP Hydraulic Brake Caliper Upgrade (Zoom Xtech HB-100 brake install)

Come join my new ebike community on Discord! It's free and fun! We have like-minded people in the group that enjoy talking about their bikes/builds!

--------------------------

In this video, I demonstrate how to not only upgrade your brakes, but also how to adjust the stock brakes from Lectric.

This Install is probably a 3/10 (easy). Not much to it at all. Just need to know what brackets to use, and a few little tricks (which I've added to this video). I know there are a lot of videos like this out there, but I tried to get some different perspectives and some cool test shots (at the end)!

I also got to test out the new Insta360 Go 2 and One X2. They are such awesome tools for YouTubers! They have their quirks, but are quite good! If you'd like me to make a review of them, please leave a comment below.

Here's a better brake adjustment video:

These other tutorials are so confusing, this guy is straight to the point 👌

The fact that you found brakes that match your bike is awesome! Great video!!

There is a pad adjustment screw on the brakes also. it is the small diameter screw that sticks out the bottom. Turn it in one direction and the pads open and the other they close. This makes it so you never have to touch the barrel adjusters again for wear.

You cheeky bastard. Sorry that was my British accent. That little trick for not removing the crimp at the end of the cable was brilliant.

Fantastic video! I found that on the 2.0 the front brake hits the spokes. It’s a tighter space. I ordered a couple of six hole disc spacers to push the disc out just a bit.

I'm not sure if it was the brakes and how they match your bike, you detailed installation of them or the music even though it's not my genre or all the above whatever it was it made me subscribe. Really you do good work and a lot of your upgrades I see myself doing. I got my bike 2 weeks ago and loving it.

I have these same zoom xtech mechanical & hydraulic actuated brakes and I got amazed at how much better they work compared to my Avid BB7 mechanical brakes. I have a Goped GSR46 gas scooter btw. The main reasons why I wanted to go with these brake calipers is the fact that they're both mechanical and hydraulic without the hassle of having to make custom length hydraulic lines for my Goped scooter also the BB7's only have one piston only so it pushes the pad from one side and these Zoom Xtech have dual pistons which grab the disk evenly and are softer. Although at first they had no stopping power at all!! Till the pads got worn in a bit and now they stop perfectly. The bb7's have I think a bit more stopping power but less modulation but then again I'm still breaking in my new pads on my zoom brakes so time will tell if that changes. Also I thought zoom xtech calipers were cheap Chinese parts but to.my surprise they're actually made in Taiwan, same as the Avid BB7's only cheaper priced! Great install video btw.

Mine were just delivered. This is excellent instruction. Good work.

Awaiting my Magicycle to arrive (got it on sale for 1299) and was thinking of upgrading to the expensive Bolton/Juintech set, but this seems like a much more reasonable buy.

[jscott]

Just ordered some as well..great video

[njlevos]

Great I wish I would have found this about 2 hours ago.

[bucknamvoltage.]

What’s the name of the white camera you have
on your shirt? Seems to do a great job.

[timsomor]

Great video this upgrade I will eventually do.

[darrylquek]

Hi could you do a video on replacing the brake pads for this model Zoom Xtech HB-100?

[shawnysto]

So this method is definitely a better alternative for switching from the mechanical brakes and not having to do the whole cable thing correct?

[Pzrides]

Are those brakes pre bleed, Or do you need to bleed them?

[cyberapocalypse]

Are these brake standard for all bikes with discs. The holes etc are all in the same place?

[kenlua]

Nice video. I just received mine, however, I find braking to be very stiff. I discovered it is due to the actual levers of the calipers that are being pulled by the brake cables being very stiff. Is there any way to sort of 'loosen' this lever without compromising braking power?
