Where did u get the trailer hitches??? Must find😁
What are those disc brakes adapters called or where to find them please
You need to tell people where you can get the parts
What type and what size of cranckshaft did you upgade your mooncool? Please reply.
I have a mooncool with a damaged back brake. Can you list the part numbers of the disc brake kit used in the video, Thanks.
Wow, I had almost given up on converting the trike I decided I wanted -- a 20" Vevor, because it was the lightest folding trike. I looked at the Lectric, which is light, but read about so many problems I decided on the Vevor. I've found out how to convert Vevor to electric (adding front wheel hub) but have been stymied on how to add on a better brake. The band brake Vevor comes with is ridiculous. Now I just need to translate what you've laid out into the parts I need for my particular trike, and how to do it.
Great video! Have you heard from anyone that this disc brake conversion might work for a Schwinn Meridian too? Your comment that the band brake is just there for decoration is so spot on. There is no amount of adjustment that will ever make it work strongly.
Just bought the woman's version of the bike and my plan is to put a 2000 watt hub motor on the front wheel. First thing I noticed was that the brakes are terrible which made the decision to upgrade the brakes an easy one. Thanks for this video as it will make the upgrade process much easier. I am looking forward to riding with ebike with my girlfriend!
Has anybody ever got a reply from this guy I did the brake conversion very weak breaking doesn't work for me wondering if I did something wrong I was hoping to get results from his disc brake conversion I'm thinking a bigger caliper
Sorry I've been traveling and not on YT. Newer cables will have stretch at first and pads need to "bed in". Mine do ok but I've yet to do any hills . Arizona playa area so flat. Hope you come up with something. No room for larger disc.
@@ramblinrogers6108 you're exactly right cables needed time to stretch in disc to break broke in perfectly only problem is if you're going uphill do not rely on the brakes to hold since the reverse threads 😄😂 going to have to use lock tight I really have to say after the first couple of rides really glad I found this video
So are you happy with your modification does it really work
Total disaster I did a good job of mounting all the hardware gather up all the parts in between Temu and Amazon the band brake worked better I think I went to cheap on brake calipers these cheap Chinese bikes have nothing but Lock tight on everything I really did a good absolute no stopping power
Quick question how did you remove the bearings from the internal axle the manufacturer used loctite I had to use heat to burn off the loctite off the adapter so I can mount the disc I have a bearing knocker nothing seems to move that bearing it is so tight I'm afraid to use heat cuz I do not want to discolor the coloring of my bike how did you remove the bearing seems to be the same model of bike hoping to push a video so you can see the modifications I have made just got a tighten everything down and mount the caliper 🫡 thanks for the video really came in Handy
Thanks. Very useful. I’ve been searching for this information.
Well ran into some trouble trying to order the wheel bearings 6302 - 2 RS has two measurements do you know which one it is 12x37x12 or 15x42x13 😢
One more thing I plan on doing this modification to the rear but my front rim is disc brake as I'm going uphill I carry two dogs the bikes rated at 420 lb that's the only reason why I got it well sometimes I have to stop mid uphill and as I engage the break the damn disc unscrews
Nice video good advice I got some for you you should try ordering a bigger cog for the rear axle makes for easier riding I'm referring to the 7 speed sprockets and get yourself a small sprocket for the front 22 tooth makes life easy and have you seen the attached motors that adapt to the disc brake you can remove them anytime you want I'm pretty sure we have the same bike they're all from China just different name
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌🫡
Quite informative but can you give more details on the adaptor. Am I right in saying it’s a standard right hand thread?
It looks like if you stop on a hill the sprocket unscrews from the adapter. It may need to be drilled and pinned
@@AncientAmbience you are right it will unscrew if you brake going backwards. I over came this by applying thread lock. Need to bear in mind you may need to remove it at some time. The disc brake is a vast improvement.
@@bobbo9549 ok. Im in upstate NY. Hills / mountains everywhere. If I trike has a loaded basket then stops on a hill, lol, bad things happen
I'm trying to follow your video to convert to disc break also. I like to get some clarification from you. You mentioned using 140mm disc. But from your video, it looks like you're using 180/160mm hydraulic break caliper with the 140 mm disc. Is this correct? I'm double checking to make sure I'm not buying the wrong hydraulic caliper size. Thank you for your help.
I'm going through the same problem I found the 140 well this guy came up with a good idea but he just didn't think this video out as for on line guess I'm having a problem mentioning by name purchase site limited on the space oh that's just CZcams sucks if you're using spell check 😢
I think that's my problem calipers too small
I made the mistake of buying one of these high bar framed Mooncools. I'm 5 ft 10" and I can't get my leg over the bar to get on nor off the think if I do manage to get on there. The brakes are trash (rear anyway) and I thank you for the video on the changeover.
Great job. If it works for you and you had fun or learned something, it is definitely “good enough.” Thanks for sharing…looking for ideas.
Don't know why you had to cut the bucket?
I just bought the same trike, was a little worried but after seeing this one and what you have done, it has given me hope! Looking forward to an update on this build, earned yourself a subscriber.
How did this thing hold up over the years? considering building my own camper on this frame.
Looks awesome man! The bows seem daunting to me but it looks like your execution is amazing.
Thanks for the info.
Can you list the source/website where you ordered the parts?
Good question
Same here
I’m going for it. Found all the parts on Amazon. All 5 parts for £67 ordered today, delivery tomorrow🫰🏻
Parts arrived last night and fitted the disc adapter, hydraulic cable calliper and bracket. Removed the wheel and pulled the axle as described. My axle set up is exactly the same as the one shown. Removed the basket as well to improve access. The existing cable was long enough but unscrewing the band brake housing from axle fitting was a mare as it was screwed on damn tight. Whole job took about 3 1/2 hours and works well apart from if applying the brake going backwards the adapter comes loose but tightens up again when applying the brake going forwards. Might apply some permanent tread lock. Worth the time spent though as a massive improvement on the crappy band brake.
Looks good, but it would be great to see it operational in your house...and how much oxygen does it actually consume plus a reading from your carbon monoxide meter. Otherwise it's just another one of the multitudes of videos with "nice" propane tank woodstoves, none of which show the aforementioned.
Very cool, I like how you painted the backside of the mirrors. I’m not a biker, by any means, so this is probably a dumb question. But why no back basket? Wouldn’t that allow you to carry more stuff?
The basket holds the same as a rack, but the rack gives better access to the panniers.
LOVE your coop. The best part, free 😊. We built ours back in 1983 from all scraps. Only new purchase was the chicken wire around the pen. It’s still standing & now I’m finding out that our nests, which were The Old Farmer’s grandparents’ p, are valuable collectors items 😂
I quit getting notifications AGAIN 🙄. So I’m binge watching until I’m caught up. Your porch looks great. Just curious, how much do people have to pay for those tanks down there? For awhile, I could get as many I wanted for free. Like a dummy, I didn’t go pick them up. Last I heard, farmers were charging $25-$50 for them. FYI, I was also told to neutralize the chemicals in them, use ammonia. I’m a bit OCD, so I rinsed them multiple time with ammonia. Then clear water, then final rinse bleach
They can go as far as $125.
I LOVE the seat
Me too Kelli
Wow trailers and everything! You guys killed myth you gotta watch every last ounce. I like 👍
i like your guys homestead you guys have done alot gives me some ideas
I think that it's a no brainer just make your own or a have a handy person do it much cheaper and better than the 1000 dollar comercial made toilets.
One lady has 2 bottles in front there's a number of the same designs on u tube but you're on the right track thanks much better than the 1000 dollar comercial made toilets that are nothing but a hassle.
What size is the tent?
It's a very cool and creative addition 👌😎 Bravo !!
Wow!! Your place is really looking nice. Everything’s coming together
Very slowly though. But then I'm too old to be in a hurry 😅
things are looking good and hope you're doing well looks great we love you both and have fun 😊☺️
The garden tractor is going to help a lot
How did I miss this & the next one!?!
I'm easily overlooked 😂
You don't seem to have subtracted your tare weight of the ramp, Jack, and block, before the Jack ever touched the axle.
where did u get the axle
Very cool guys!!! Looks like I've missed a few things lol. I need to catch up! Great job! 💖💜💖
Shower is 32x32 😁
bummer you lost your wallet! cute little dome window. The bathroom will be a nice addition. I love your little outdoor potbelly stove.
Needed a temporary light so the bubble works 🙂. I made that little woodstove for a bowtop vardo type trailer i made (older video) but ended up putting a fridge in instead. Been using it to burn small scraps, comes in handy out here in the wind.
I like that bench couch with the storage underneath that’s great
Looking good,Keep the good work up.
Oh no! Lost your wallet with all that info. Scary in today’s world. Hope it’s found by an honest person. Addition looks good
Excited to see the addition. I’ve always found the gray water issue interesting. It’s illegal to separate gray water in Kansas too 🙄. Living in the boonies like we do, I know lots of people who water there trees & plants with the gray water & only put true black water in their septic. The excuse I’m told, by the “state employees”, it’s not the food, but laundry water, cos people have dirty underwear. Good grief Up until a few years ago, when they pumped septic tanks, they took it to fields & spread it back on the ground And the environmental impact, I’d think paper towels are worse. Most of my kitchen scraps go to the compost pile, or tossed in my garden beds
