    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    I'm going to buy the same disc brake from the seller so at least I'll get one set working until I find a way to fix this one. Cost 40GBP but I hope it worth it and nothing is more expensive than an accident :(

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    Getting worse now... the brake does not seem to have any effect anymore.. It seems to be something leaking or I don't know how to tighten the brake... It's really dangerous now because I can only brake with my front brake and it's definitely not braking well at ALL. I think I'm going to...

    I just removed the brake pad and I think I managed to make the impossible possible: The pads seem dry when I touch them. But it does feel I directly touch the metal... which mean the rubber is completely gone... and that the pads have to be replaced :( I only have used it for a couple of...

    Makes sense. How do I know if it's contaminated? I was thinking my brake might be leaking as I have to tighten the brake lever every few days.. I just reached the max the screw can go

    Hmm so there's something wrong about the way I installed the brakes? It worked fine before I don't know why it isn't brake anymore

    Thanks D8veh, I checked that and I still have this problem. I wonder if my brake pad are already worned out?

    Actually, after tightening it still doesn't brake very well. Maybe something to do with my brake pad?

    Thanks D8veh. Here is the screw I need to tighten every couple of days: I was wondering why I have to do that... and maybe someday I won't be able to do it again because I wouldn't have done it to the max? Maybe some fluid leaking? I only have 1 washer with my freewheel because I don't have...

    i still have 2 issues with the bike. The new hydraulic brake keep getting loose and I have to tightened it every couple of days. Is it normal? Would that be the liquid that may leak? And the motor is squeaking. It doesn't freewheel that well. Is it normal? Thanks

    yeah it's quite dangerous to cycle in london. That's why I never pass cars unless they stopped and I leave them the opportunity to start before me. Before with my brompton acceleration was better and it was easier to just pass in front of everyone from traffic light. With the Dahon jetstream I...

    I hope the frame is still true... the motor is really tightened because there isn't much space to put it on. The noise does not come from wheel rubbing but from the motor... Maybe I tightened it too much

    oh I see. It's not a crack, it's just mark :) I have my motor rubbing against something, I initially thought it was the disc brake but it isn't... It's not really freewheeling... but I can't see against what it may be rubbing... any idea?

    Sanity check.. Dropout looks ok, but the steel clip has been torn.. These are definitely not stainless steel clip
