Can this explain everything else in my life? He is clear, simple, on point, knowledgeable, and his voice isn't annoying. Great video. Thank you.
This saved me so much time, I procrastinated it for months, then I decided to change my bike tires and now add back my brake, thank you.
Absolutely some of the best repair content on youtube period. So much attention to detail and never a sacrifice of quality for the sake of clickbait non-sense. Much appreciated!
Super helpful! Thank you. My boys couldn't ride their bikes and the shops all have 2-3 week wait times for repairs. You made me look like a hero and it took ~10 minutes. When it's good, the Internet is just magical. What a time to be alive.
That's because YOU ARE a hero
Good parent moment
Even after decades of thinking I knew how to adjust these brakes, you have taught me new things. Thank you.
This is the the the best video for side pull breaks. Thanks a million times. 🎉.
The centering chapter was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for the straightforward easy to follow video
Was it a case of loosening front and back nuts. Centering and tightening again?
@@funkyprepper yes that's about it, squeeze the brakes a few times and make sure it stays
I was having trouble adjusting the brakes on the Razor Flashback Scooters for my boys. I called Razor customer service and they literally sent me a link to your video... that's how helpful this video is🤘🏽
I watched this video and fixed my issues in no time!!
Hey Park Tools - Calvin Jones is fantastic! Calvin spends time explaining exactly what to look for, how to do it right, all in simple easy to understand language with great demonstrations, and/or animations. Please give him a raise or bonus. After watching him, I want to do more work on my bike and I will need more Park Tools!!
You bloody legend. I am being Santa assembling a bike and this has helped me so much. Less the specialist tools I don’t have. Thanks.
This is one of the best videos on caliper brake adjustment the toe in with the shifting spanners isbrilliant ! Thank you Calvin!
I enjoy Calvin's videos so much that I watch them even when I don't need to fix anything. I don't even have this type of brakes on any of my bikes. Still it's fun to see how they would work.
This was a life saver as my Toddler bike had no instructions on setting this brake style up. Thank you!
Best video on this I have seen. Been trying to adjust my kids bikes and couldnt figure out how to center them. Now I know... And knowing is half the battle.
I have heard some on other vids complaining how hard it is to use them really rough on the little boys hands.I remembered as a teen I would put a few drops of fine oil between outer and inner of the cables and hold it up until it soaks all the way through.Worked like a charm.
Thanks for the detailed tutorial and for pointing out the caliper differences.
That is truly appreciated for newbies like me.
Keep up the quality videos 🙏🏽
Thanks, Calvin! This video saved my butt as I was putting together a neighbor's kid's bike this morning. Is anyone else amazed at how Calvin's hands never get dirty in his repair videos? Either he has oil/dirt/grease-repellent hands or he goes through a gallon of degreaser a week. Anyways, keep up the good work!
This is exactly what I'm doing right now aha!
Me too lol
I can’t explain to you guys how much this video means to me. It is my fucking savior
Absolutely brilliant, as always. I can’t stress just how good these are. Cheers.
Thank you very much! I couldn't find what he problem was until I saw this video - centering issue, solved in few minutes after all :)
5 year old video, exactly what i needed. thank you
If only I knew all this years ago, so many problems would have been solved. Thank you so much! My current daily beater has these brakes - now I can adjust them.
Clear and concise - thank you Park Tool for this informative and helpful video!
Thank you so, so much!!
Now my ancient brakes actually work!
I am able to fix my kids bike brake problem after watching this video. Thanks for posting and sharing very detailed information.
Maid it! Centering was a
mystery to me. Thank you!
Very thorough video, with no shortcuts, and clearly explained.
Своими видео Вы упростили мне жизнь!!! Спасибо! очень классные уроки по настройке и сборке велосипедов!
а бамбас дамбили оссемь лет
It was Campagnolo that reintroduced side pull brakes in '68. When Merckx won the Tour in 69 with these brakes, everybody started to use them.
In the 60's almost everybody used center pull brakes.
Amazing! SAved me another trip to the shop where i just blindly let them fix stuff. I had some kind of drag and i realized one of the pads was rubbing, i happen to have some useful wrenches around and you taught me how to center them! Once i saw the wheel rotating i knew i was good! Thanks! Also my bike is super dirty, your clean bike is quite a contrast, ha!
Great infromation and excellent presentation. I really appreciated the info on setting toe as I do expereince irritating brake squeal from time to time.
Off-topic. Does anyone else think that Liberty insurance has absolutely stupid commercials?
Great, clear vid. The only one I could find that actually helped! Cheers!!
6 years later still working! this was perfect!
This vid is very helpful. I'm glad you mentioned some torque settings also. Calvin is the man!
That bass/music at the start reminded me of Public Image. Maybe you could replace the track with that😊
I overhauled my calipers thanks to this video. Cheers.
Simple and complete tutorial. Thanks a lot!
Very well presented, I wish all UA-cam "how to" video's were put together like this. Very good job.
Great video as usual. Renovating an old Dawes Galaxy with side pulls and this was perfect timing.
Thank you so much! I could not get my side pull caliper brakes to be centered until viewing your video and seeing how you adjusted the two nuts on the front in concert with the one on the back
This is very professional, I really appreciate you sharing your excellent experience! No school teaches this.
This is crystal clear, I cannot thank you so much !
Great couple of videos on setup/adjusting bicycle brakes - thank you!
These videos are so good. I've learned something from each one I've watched. Things I hadn't considered before.
Thank u so much I've tried dozens of times and could never get it right after your video my brakes are working great
Thanks for the tutorial! It helped me fix my son’s brakes! 👍🏼
The quick release on my front brake was set open when the brake was tightened by the shop so now I cant take my wheel off with any easy. Thanks for the guide
Thanks for the excellent and concise videos...really good,very helpful.
yes
I have never been good at getting these types of brakes adjusted (didn't have youtube back when I was trying though). This video made it crystal clear. Well done! I bought my daughter (7 years old) a drift trike. Since adjusting the brake, I am leaning to replacing it totally. The pads have no cams and the brake lever is rather flimsy and far from the grip. I'd have gladly paid an additional $50 or so for the trike with a better brake.
such a concise video !! you solved all of the issues !
Thanks for the video. You explained in very detail, it helped me a lot.
Great video, very clear instructions. Helped me out a lot.
Thank you for making this video you're a lifesaver you are a big help make more high quality educational videos keep up the good work
Got a new bike and scratching my head on how to align the side-pull brakes. This video is beyond excellent.
Great video to explain most possible issues and solutions for side-pull brake calipers. Only feedback is on brake pads "don't need to touch exactly at same time", if the contact is only partially out of timing with light pressure it is probably ok, but with more adequate pressure it is still off time, I find the pads wear unevenly. So, if arms have been centred as much as possible, once pad-wear becomes visibly different, I rotate the pads to opposite sides.
Lastly, I wish my bicycle and hands remained this clean during maintenance! Mine are always blackened 🙈
Great video. I watched some others and the said to set the toe in, and how much to toe the pads in, but didn't say how to do it. I'm working on my grand daughters bike, she'll be much happier with the brakes now that I know what to do. The old v pads squealed and wouldn't stop the bike as well as they should.
Where was this video my entire childhood, nearly 40 and now working on my daughters bike, and this just taught me what i thought was witchcraft until now!
Great demonstration!! Learned something new, thanks
Super helpful. My daughter will be happy and safe now. Thanks
This was by far the best video I've seen in this topic! Great and I mean GREAT job!!! You helped me fix my sons brakes!
Great clear and concise video. Thank you.
Best most helpful bike video I've seen on UA-cam... Thanks.
I didnt have the fancy tools but i think my brakes are now fixed!!, thanks c: ❤️
Those fancy tools aint necessary they just want people buying there tools
In to months ive matured quite a bit,the fancy tools are to make the job a lil easier, not necesarry but they will help a lot
@@alexanderrivera1033 they sure will!!
Very clear explanation. The best video I ever found. Thanks Park tool
I just started a job where I assemble stuff and the main thing is bicycles. I'm working through a 2 month back log of bikes so at least 1 out of 4 are damaged. Bent rim here, bent forks there, missing parts, heck, I had the forks fall right out of a bike today, bearings and seals all over. Found a manufacturing error on an EZ bike, the pin hole was way below the pin where the forks and handlebars meet, so the unit would not stay together and there was a shallow cut below that. The machine must have been wigging out that day.
Adjusting brakes is a pain and I will be watching this video many times!
Exactly what I needed. I will try this tomorrow.
thanks so much! Learned a lot and put new brake pads on that solved my squeaking.
perfect video! great explanations. Thanks!
Very thorough video but I never realised adjusting bike brakes could be so complicated and need so many different tools. Will take my bike to a shop as don’t have all these tools
Best tutorial on centering side pull calipers. 👍
Thanks. My first time to learn and your instruction is clearly and easy to understand.
Really well produced videos! Thank you!
Fantastic! Really helped me out. Thank you.
Great video. Thank for straight facts and not a bunch of filler.
9:36 This is the crucial point that I didn't get before this video !
Thoroughly useful. This video is really perfect for me.
Great video. Helped me with my wife's brakes
What a wonderful video! I just got my little one a used bike and he gave me some replacement brake pads with it but I had no idea how to adjust everything and they got really wonky 😅
Definitely saved Christmas 🙏
this video is helpful, thank you!
Thank you. Going to use this video to install caliper brakes on a coaster bike soon.
This saved me a trip to a bike shop. Thanks!
Very comprehensive and helpful tips.👍
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Helped with a Schwinn bike for my daughter!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing!
*The* Stephen King?!
I was wondering the same thing. (Maybe he's writing a novel about a bike that eats little children).
Wow, great video and editing. Thank you for the post; really helped me out!
Great tutorial. Thank you.
It gives me a big help about problem in my caliper. Thanks.
Thank you for the clear demo.
thank you, very well made.
Excellent video!
Wow, this video is exactly what I need. After searching and watching around 5 different videos I am so glad I found this one! Thank you so much!
One question, how long should pads last?
THE very best and informative vid on YT.
Your a life saver thanks.
Thank you very much this video has been very helpful
