Pics (on previous page) show Peacemaker I-SpecEV mount from front and rear. Left right adjustment is built into the shifter and a good amount of to/fro rotation allowed by the Peacemaker.
For anyone interested the Formula clamps are a non starter. Sticking a 4mm bolt through a 5mm hole I’d have chanced but the holes appear to be further apart and the clamp meets the brake without clamping the bar. Back to a separate clamp for the dropper lever
Finally got around to fitting mine after the front Guide failed on a ride. Again.
Uberbike 2.0mm 220mm rotors and spacers with the Dominion calipers. I did the front on Saturday as it's easy and the improvement over the Guides is phenomenal. The rear was more of a challenge and I had to drop the motor in the end to get the hose fed through the frame. I've used the bar clamps that came with my and my buddy's AXS conversions for the shifter and dropper lever. I was looking to get some Peacemaker clamps until I saw the price!
After 3 months of riding these, I'm happy to say they've presented no problems at all and are, with Galfer e-bike pads installed, my new favourite brake.
They feel lovely and I immediately notice the difference when using my other bike with shimano Zees.
BUT. After 10 minutes all the differences are forgotten and I just get on with the riding.
The biggest difference is the galfer pads. Apart from a nicer lever actuation, actual braking performance on the stock organics wasn't as good as Zees with uberbike e-bike pads.
So the question for me now, is how will Zees feel with galfer e-bike pads? I'll know soon enough since I now have some waiting in the wings...
Make of this what you will!
Galfer Es are awesome (possibly too good) on my son's Saints. Can't imagine the Zees will be any different.
Am I the only person who doesn't find Galfer pads amazing? I have tried them in two different brakes and while I certainly can't say they're bad, they aren't any better than some other, cheaper brands
I find the Hayes Sintered absolutely rock solid, and Galfer greens about on a par (but more easily available). I did not find the ebike ones as good.
However my old riding buddy, same build as me, similar bike, Hayes Dominions, same lack of skill, finds the galfers complete mince. I find that odd!
@bobolous do you have an email address you contacted as I am struggling to find anything?

Surely that depends on the compound you've tried? For example, I'm entirely ambivalent to their standard black organics, probably because I'm too heavy to get the best from them, but the e-bike pads are quite splendid.
I suspect theres a fair amount dictated by ones riding style and preferences too tbh.
I contacted them via the support portal on their website: https://hayesbicycle.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
This got picked up by someone in USA who then passed it to the European team (in Germany I believe).
