Oset 16.0 Hydraulic Brakes

[jersey stew]

My lads has the skeletals on and they are fantastic as he is 5 and a small 5 at that!

Levers are very close to the hand grip and still have enough travel to work (approx 3/4" inside diamension).

Are you sure they are bled properly????

And as said before are they lined up to the disc to reduce flex in the caliper?

Have just done brake tube modification to master cylinder end.

We have problems with the nipple on the fitting shearing off when he comes off the bike sometimes.

So I have come up with a mod to fit a banjo fitting which then brings the pipe in parralel to the bars instead of sticking out ready to be ripped off.

Very easy with some inginuity .

Used drilled out clarks banjos and banjo bolts from amazon.

few quis each end.

Great thread !

I am in the market for a upgrade for my sons Oset 36v and after reading this have found these here a few £ cheaper

Presuming that you are after a 160 disc ?

How did eveyone find these, adequate ? or should I be opting for a front 185 or they also do a 203 ??

Hello,

I upgraded my son's Oset 16 36V (now modified with Kelly Controller and 42V LiPos) with Shimano Deore BR-M615 M610 Hydraulic Disc Brakes.

If you know how to bleed off (air) the brakes you'll be able to "re-use" the welded wire guides.

Very good upgrade and simple!
