Galfer E-Bike Compound Brake Pads — Magura MT5/MT7 4-Piston (BFD487G1652)

Brake Pads

Talaria Sting MX4 Expert uses Magura MT-5 OEM caliper with mineral oil — NOT DOT fluid. BFD487G1652 is the correct E-Bike compound upgrade pad. Different pad shape from BFD426 (Tektro/Shimano-style) — these are Magura-specific. Purple color for easy identification. Note: do not confuse with BFD436G1652 (for Magura MT2/MT4/MT6/MT8 2-piston — different caliper).

Magura MT-5 Brake Pads — Sting MX4 Expert

Brake Pads

MX4 Expert only — Magura MT-5 caliper. Tektro pads will NOT fit.

Magura Royal Blood Mineral Oil (Brake Fluid) — All Talaria Models

Brake Fluid

ALL Talaria models use mineral oil — NEVER use DOT fluid. DOT will destroy brake seals immediately.

Maxima Mineral Brake Oil 120ml — Talaria Sting (All Models)

Brake Fluid

CRITICAL: Talaria Sting uses Tektro hydraulic brakes requiring MINERAL OIL only. Using DOT fluid destroys the seals. Confirmed compatible with MX3, MX4, X3.

Chain

PREMIUM UPGRADE over the 420 NZ3. DID's X-ring sealed 420 chain for Sur-Ron Light Bee X, Talaria Sting, and Segway X260/X160 riders who want longer chain life and less re-lubrication. X-ring seals retain grease internally — chain life index ~2,200 vs. ~400-600 for the non-sealed NZ3. Sur-Ron LBX stock: 106L. Talaria Sting MX3/MX4: 104L. NOTE: X-ring chains require a press-fit connecting link — do NOT use a standard clip link from the NZ3. Seal wear indicator: replace when seals show cracking or chain stretch exceeds 3%% of measured length. Not compatible with Talaria MX5 Pro (418 pitch) or Sur-Ron Ultra Bee (428 pitch).

DID 420 NZ3 Connecting Link — Clip Type (Pack of 5)

Chain

Essential consumable — always have spare connecting links. Replace connecting link every chain replacement. Clip (spring clip) type for DID 420 NZ3 non-ring chains. Do NOT use clip links on X-ring chains (VX series) — X-ring chains require a press-fit connecting link (420VXP). Sur-Ron LBX, Talaria Sting MX3/MX4, and Segway X160/X260 all use 420 NZ3 compatible clip links.

DID 420 VX Press-Fit Connecting Link — X-Ring Type

Chain

Required when rejoining a DID 420 VX chain after removal. X-ring connecting link includes x-ring seals and outer plate.
