Entire break swap in 4 min. Appreciate how it was organized starting with tools/items needed and then step by step. Thank you!

[@ronjacobson4445]

Thank you. I have never done this before. I changed the cable on my wife's bike. She just left. I hope they work and she comes back.
Thank you.

[@miketan2459]

haha!

[@Suckyamother]

No

[@chronicsnail6675]

her brakes weren't working and she was approaching a train. RIP

[@iansearing7502]

Update?

[@robertbutler8041]

You forgot to say, "Your Honour" at the end!

[@thebladonator]

Absolutely no frills in this video, so clear and simple. Thanks!

[@aidanmendez8991]

This dude

[@homeschooladventure5687]

I didn't need to install a new part. However, this video helped me repair my daughter's front brake, and it worked well! Thank you!

[@doobyboy21]

This is the best video on UA-cam ! Did it in about 10 minutes ! And I suck on manual stuff !

[@Dlinthe]

So very helpful. Once I got it apart, I didn't need the rest of the video, but watched it anyway (after I was done). I was doing my rear wheel, but this gave me the info I needed. Only thing I was missing was a good pair of wire cutters, which my roommate's toolbox provided for me. I still need to do the front brake, but my rear brakes needed new pads and the wire was rusted and frayed and they had gone completely out on me the other day. That's what I get for not immediately assessing the bike when it came to me. $30 for new cables, pads, and front tube. Not bad considering that the average bike shop charges $100 for a tube change and lord-knows-how-much for pads and cables and I'd have to likely leave my bike for a day or overnight.

[@ronjones5836]

Awesome vid guys, clear concise and pretty much resembles my setup, I have a 95 trek 930 and snapped the front brake when I put a headset extender on it.

[@deenadawnl.4588]

This helped me SO much! Usually, I watch several "How To" videos until I find one that makes sense and is concise. I found this one first, watched it once and then successfully put on a new cable. Thank you!!

[@mathy0803]

Love it.
Easy, simply and clear!
Thanks!

[@RussAnimates]

best video I found. you explained it so well thank you! wish I had found this first.

[@RickyG225]

Thanks this was a great help. The final brake adjustment is a little tricky and you need the right kind of cable cutter, otherwise the cable end will become frayed making it difficult to thread through the casing.

[@mrjag4089]

I didn’t have to fast forward at all in your video!! Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Great job on editing!!

[@slverlightstar]

What an easy to follow common sense video ...thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SportsAndOutdoors]

Glad you found it useful : )

[@damanpreet6132]

Hlo my gears does not work what I can do

[@rollinsjenni]

Cool. I have a little different set-up and it is on the back brake but with this video I feel I have what I need to figure it out. Thanks again, friends!

[@rogerhull2952]

Great! Clear and concise, good camera angles Everyone creating guides to repair or install something should watch this first to see how it ought to be done. Most such guides are three times longer than needed, because they haven't been thought out beforehand nor edited afterwards, you have to watch a load of waffle before the useful stuff starts.

[@angelaperetti5390]

This was incredibly helpful!! Thank you (:

[@lisapalmer4725]

Excellent video! Extremely helpful and easy to understand

[@sharanvirdi90]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! YOU HELPED ME GET MY RIGHT BRAKE BACK, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@Torkijo]

Thanks, great easy to follow video - means it took me about the same time to do the job than watching the video - fantastic, thanks.

[@seangall123]

Well done! Thanks for putting this up here

[@aurelienyonrac]

Great video.
3:50 check to see if your break are working properly
(Only one side moves)
DONE ✔

[@AnonimousSound1]

Thank you so much bro, your video has truly helped me out and made a difference within problem solving and troubleshooting

[@evagall]

You did a great job with this video. Now I hope I can apply this knowledge to my bikes cables. I have a citizen folding bike, I think my brakes are too tight, the front wheel won't spin freely. The brake pads are touching the rim of the tire without me touching the handbrakes. It just happened after I unfolded the bike, maybe the cables are tangled. It's too dark outside, so I'll need to wait until the morning to troubleshoot this problem.

[@sethmarcus1784]

Found what I needed and fixed breaks. Thank you!!

[@paulnigel]

Thanks so much for this posting this. For kids' bike with very old brake blocks...blocks have body left but I wonder if rubber's hardened over time and will thus slip more easily?

[@neilward7616]

Cheers for this. Been a big help to me this afternoon. 👍

[@mickyb.8014]

So well done, so clear & simple, brilliant thankyou.

Great straight to the point

[@chrisperry2261]

Even though being a lo-rez video, it presents comprehensive narrated visual information with appropriate camera angles, and competent editing . The producers of How to Replace Brake Cables - Bicycling Magazine video could learn a thing or two from this videojug.com offering.

[@digi148sace]

I have an older brake mechanism. I'm wondering if you guys can do a tutorial video for that one?

[@stafhon]

Can you do one for gears and going to the back brake ?

[@beamaverick9177]

well done

[@MrMony393]

Does youtube have a single video on how to do the back break lines for and old bxm style bike? Everything is front break on mountain bikes.

[@akramobad4285]

Thanks bro

[@mysteryandmeaning297]

I did it. Replaced both cables back and front. Adjusted. Now gotta find video on how do gear cable replacement.

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

Good, interesting. Uk 🇬🇧

[@vibodhj349]

Helpful!

[@SportsAndOutdoors]

Glad you found it useful : )

[@trabiccolo879]

I have an hybrid/trekking bicycle made in germany (brand Bergamont) and i would like to buy a pair of brake cables online in order to be able to replace the old ones.
My questions are:
1)
"What do I have to look for in terms of length of the cable, diameter of the cable, ?connectors?, and materials the cable is made from?
2)
If I have, say, two rear cables (usual/standard lengh 2.5 mt?), can one of them become a front cable (just by cutting it shorter I guess)?
3)
When they write 'universal cable', can/shall I then be fairly confident that the cable is suitable/fit for my bicycle (whatever its make or model)?
Thank you for your help,

[@anti_globalista]

Good one. Wish it 's HD.

[@wizitofearth]

Seriously this video cannot be more clear and simple I really really really like it!

[@wellingtonnurse9064]

Can you use the old casing or you have to get new ones

[@jad2185]

Thanks

[@littlefreak271289]

For some reason, after doing this my cable wont stay in the adjuster when I release my brake lever resulting in my brakes not working anymore. Can someone suggest what I've done wrong and how to fix it please? (The bike is brand new so it's definitely something I've done)
Thank you in advance

[@kenmcfarland4287]

Hi , I had the same problem and I discovered that the barrel ended nipple on my cable was only 6 mm instead of the usual 7 mm thus meaning it was too loose in the lever retainer.

[@ABHINAVKUMAR-vh3ln]

Great

[@angelotesauro7952]

thnaks :-)

[@asboukcomfortable1670]

My bicycle cable frayed and snapped yesterday, I will get the local shop to fix it. Interesting though! Uk 10.7.23 🇬🇧

[@MrDeepVoice7]

Is a straight handle bar bike the same as say an old schwinn cruiser? I might sound stupid asking this lol.
