Hydraulic Cable Brakes

[esuark]

just looked on that page and there are prices for one caliper and another for a pair, then further down I see a price for a pair £6.00 cheaper. I must admit I didn't go further than that p&p and all that.

My pet hate is when they show something you want at a brilliant price, but when you click on it you get a message saying they can't post it to your location.

I wonder why they will sell me that caliper for £16.70 but for you it is £29?

I'm getting the @saneagle price rather than the @Tony1951 price !

Yeah - I sort the results by number of orders - there were a couple of sellers offering the pair for just under £23 including p&p. ( I have just ordered a pair of the TANKE fully hydraulic brakes, (including rotors that I didn't need (Right Front, Rear Left) with the red 2 pin motor cut out sensors (£32 the pair including p&p) to put on my new cheapo 48V 15Ah Duotts C29. (so far I've changed the tyres, changed to the Drift Maniac DNP freewheel and those brakes so total including bike is £580) I might change the controller at some time, but that is a bit of a bigger job, I don't think it's the most efficient to supply full power until you reach each speed level, I might compensate by starting off on level 0 and then turn up to level 1 when I'm going as fast as I can unpowered.

My £29.59 (now £25.50) is for a pair.

It's great playing with all these things. I used to do it a lot, but then I had a longish break. Now it's back in me again to play with ebike stuff.

My price was for one caliper.

The only problem is that the spring on the pads pulls them back as soon as pressure is released

Well done on sorting it.

Immediate thought was take out the springs and use double sided sticky tape to hold the pads directly to the pistons. It should then be dependent on the syringe only.

That might work. The spring effect was quite profound. I've not seen it so much on a normal hydraulic brake, but that might be because it's harder to push the oil back up the hoses into the reservoir. I was wondering if the spring was on the piston.
