Can someone please help me with my new build?

Sorry, I left out disc ( hey I’m old) lol. I have dual front hydraulic disc and rear hydraulic disc brakes. At about 20-25 mph hit them hard and bike immediately stops! You need to check them out. A good rule of thumb is “fast bike, fast brakes. Slow bike, fast brakes. Safety should be first and performance second. I wrecked a whizzer years ago at about 57- 60 mph and still have scars and memories of it.
 
He means hydraulic disc brakes. I like the line pull type. I have them and so does @DAMIEN1307 . With a 203mm rear disc you can run a 36t max. They make larger rotors, but they are expensive.
Ahhh ok..I'll see about them I know this thing isn't doing so great with this old style line brake in place it's already wore them to the nub after 3 or 4 2mi runs.

Those sound good and all but I think imma stick with the line pull mechanical disc brakes

Why not go with the hydraulic line pull? They are alot better than mechanical line pull.
I think it has more to do with price n knowledge for me I already have no clue how to set up regular brakes much less hydraulic or mechanical brakes so this is going to be a whole new learning curve for me. I didn't even know you had to get a different sprocket but I suppose I'm going to I don't know where to get one what to get or if it even matters I just know that that's what you guys are talking about so that's what I'm going to try to do. I really just want this thing to be durable Dependable reliable fun and fast or fastest it can be without killing me. And I've already gotten off to a bad foot with the whole Gorilla Glue in my Hub together so I want to try to do things right from here on out so if you think that's what I should get I will get it. As long as it doesn't cost outside my budget which isn't much but I know my wheels are on their way here and I still don't have any brakes ready to go on it either so if anybody's got any suggestions it'll be much appreciated give me a link or something I don't know try to make them cheap but good if that's possible I know you get what you pay for so..

Line pull hydraulics are actually quite simple, and are adjusted the same as mechanical calipers. It's literally just a built in mini master cylinder acting on the pistons of the caliper. Remove current mechanical calipers. Install line pull hydraulics. Adjust. Done.

At 20 bucks a pop, the Zoom brand work very well and are what I had on my Phantom build. The only thing I disliked were the pads they came with, but they still worked well. Just not enough bite for my preference. I will never run a standard mechanical caliper again on any bike I own. My 4 stroke build is going to be full hydraulic brakes just like my e-bike.

A reprint from my tutorial of what kind of sprocket and where to get it...My tutorial will tell you all the things I used and where to get them from.

You will also need a freewheel sprocket for the pedal chain side of things as well and will probably need to add chain links to the pedal side as well since the freewheel is larger than the stock coaster brake pedal sprocket.

Do any pads go with thes sort of brakes because I have a couple sets of them if they do they are the rectangle ones not the circle. And did you get these off Amazon
