Concise video with no music: perfect. Tightened my brakes last night and went for an amazing ride over the hills where I live. Felt much safer than I did when my levers were squeezing against my grips. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you! My brakes were squeaking as I rode my new E-bike for the first 100 miles. After watching this video, with two adjustments, there's no more squeaking!
I been watching videos on disc brake adjustment and they all lost me. Tomorrow I was about to take my bike to a mechanic for break adjustment, sixty five bucks including lubrication (on a new bike) and you made it so easy to understand, I put video on pause and went to do it. My wheels are turning smoothly and breaks are working great. Thanks, keep up the great videos and keep it simple at all times. Another channel even mentioned needing a bike torque wrench..... Again, great video.
i had to watch a thousand of useless video in UA-cam and before I found yours, that in a couple of minutes helped me solve my problem, clear und straitforward. I thank you very much!
I can actually learn so much from you, it's simplistic and the way you show and explain it is so clear to understand in comparison to 7 minute bike shop people...
This is a life saver! I can't find any bike shops that are open right now and i need my bike to get to work. I have no other option than my bike and i was down to one brake as the other was completely loose.
Thank you. I checked out all these other videos that are way longer and still didn't know what to do. Your video is so much better and is clear and concise.
This video was exactly what I needed. Clear and to the point. I am teaching myself how to fix/adjust things on my bike one step at a time, and now I can adjust my brakes!
Thank you so much for this video. Away from home, luckily with tiny bike multi-tool & was able to tighten the brakes, by myself, in minutes, rather than finding a bike shop. Saved me hours of searching for a shop that is most probably closed until tomorrow anyway!
Its been awhile, didn't wanna listen to some philosophy of brakes. Pulling the brake to center the pads was all i needed, you succinctly delivered. F******* stellar!!!! Many thanks!
Andres Delavega he skipped over a few parts like trueing the disk which usually does need a few adjustments. I do it with an adjustable wrench using sight and sound spinning the wheel. Adjusting the static caliper on the inner most side of of brakes isn’t necessarily a bad idea either lol
I was speeding when I had to brake HARD. As I was doing that the lever became loose, ,I thought its over but then I did some research and found you. THANK YOU FOR FIXXING it.
You just saved me from rattling some random person from hurt,seriously I was that stressed . Looked at other videos but 2 looks on here and sorted 👌 saved countless ££'s aswell . Thank you 👍👌
Glad i came across your video dude, messed me caliper alignment last night while replacing the break pads, repair guy wanted to replace the whole caliper, came home to get cash and just youtubed it, and bang my breaks are as good as new thanks mate, i subbed 🤟
Thank you so much, you honestly made my day with this simple video. My breaks have been bothering me for a solid month now and its so satisfying to have them fixed.
Thanks man, super informative, my disk brake been making unbearable noise and it is super embarrassing, cant wait to try fixing my disk alignment. Have a nice day!
I am such a dunce , all this time I thought I had hydraulic brakes, purchased the bleed kit and fluid, went out to bleed this morning just to find out I have mechanical. anyhow thanks for a great plain and simple video my friend.
Thank you so much!!! I've watched so many other videos that did not specify the adjustment of the caliper. Yours solve the problem. Thank you again and keep up the great work 👍
Dude this video was so good and to the point. Needed to get my brakes working good enough for a few days so that I can make it to work before I'm able to take it to the shop for a more detailed fix
just what I needed and so simply done that even I could mange the adjustment, I would be coming down hills on my 20 hr. ebike and realized it was not stopping like it use to and this morning I almost hit a cat that stopped all of a sudden in my path and then I went to youtube to find you and this excellent short to the point video, thanks I feel sage again. Up to 800 miles on my bike and other than this I have had nothing but joy and great exercise.
You are the best!!!! This problem was so bad to the point that when I pulled it as hard as I can the bike still kept going. I appreciate you so much ! Thank you 🙏
Golden. Thank you very much. Saved me a lot of time and hassle from going back to the shop for a tune up. Probably saved the tech some valuable time as well.
Wow. Spent way to much time trying to figure this out. Soo frustrating. My Amazon bike is usable again! Thanks so much, perfect short and simple vid. I'll be watching more
Thank you, this saved me from having to go to bike shop:) Needed to fiddle around a little bit with the making sure that the disks are centered, but now I have brakes that actually work!
Just what I needed to know! I looked for a someone who could explain this in the least amount of time. No histrionics about the birth and evolution of brake technology. Just the facts. Subscribed.👍👌🙏
Thank you so much for this video just fixed mine and my wife’s bikes thought that I was gonna have to take them to a bike shop you just saved me some money with a simple fix👍🏿👏🏾
Wow I had to pay the bike store $150 HKD just to fix it. But it after a few months which is today, it got lose again. So I got fed up and luckily I found your video. I really appreciate it. I'm gonna try it out now. And get back to you if I get to fix it. Very simple and thorough with your explanation.👌🏼
Look on the back of the caliper and see if there is a place you can turn it to move one of the pads closer to the other one. I made another video about this, but UA-cam won’t let me paste links into comments. Look on my channel under bike disc brakes. It’s the video I made about how to change brake pads changing brake pads is really easy, so if yours are all worn out, it’s an easy cheap job to fix them.
Thank you! Ive been struggling with my brakes constantly getting looser, so i have been adjusting them up at the handles but i saw that the screw was close to reaching its limit. I imagined there must be some other adjustment. I looked at a couple of places and everyone was talking about adjusting at the handles, not the calipers. Thank you for this video! Adjusted my brake lines and now i can stop without using my feet! LOL. I also got the confidence to adjust my caliper angle because the disc was constantly hitting it, so i centralized it. Then i lubed the chain the pedals, all looking good now.
Thank you for the concise video, straight to the point, easy to understand. Definitely better than the explanation in the halfords video. Thanks again.
I’m in software. If you banked online today thank an engineer. If we didn’t you’re funds would be in Russia and we would be out of work. It’s part nature and part fear of failure. No offense taken. 👍🏼
He just gets straight to the point. No long intro, no "like and subscribe" BS... no talking about his personal life for the first 5 minutes. He just gets straight down to what you need to know.
Thank you bro I was thinking all night how to align it, cous I already bought it last night and I was not ready to take it all way back to be realigned.. Great man you are
Thank you for this tutorial, I thought the disc brakes were broken on my bike, it turns out they just needed some adjusting, and now they work perfectly
THANK YOU for keeping this short and straight to the point. Unfortunately, I have already wasted 8 minutes of my life watching another guy YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK without getting the results I was looking for.
This is what 2 minutes videos should be like! Good explanation and straight to the point!
Thanks!
it took me 5 minutes to adjust the brakes, and 3 hours to find the allen wrench
😂😂😂 So is life!
hahaha
Bahahahahahya
Hahahahahhaha
Lol so true
Thank you so much for not stretching this out in to a 20 min video. Appreciate it :)
You’re welcome

You’re welcome.

He is the bomb right! Fixed mine too!
Same man. Halfords said that it would cost me 40 quid and obvs tried to take advantage of me and I got it done in 3 mins. 🙌🏿
Thank you! My brakes were squeaking as I rode my new E-bike for the first 100 miles. After watching this video, with two adjustments, there's no more squeaking!
You’re welcome
So many videos made me not know what I was doing. I fixed my breaks in like 5 minutes 😂
Thankyou kind sir!
You’re welcome
What a sample clear explanation. Way better than 99% bike fix videos
Thanks man I have been trying to fix this for 4 weeks! I didn’t find a video until yours! You made it a lot more sense than other people
You’re welcome
Im putting my Schwinn Axum together now and about to punch a hole in the wall brake drag and shit tention both wheels
For any other bike problems I suggest you look up park tool, they show you very clear angles and they help you visualize these things very well too

Your genius sir👏. I had watched many videos but they don’t get to the point. Your’s 2:14 mins solved my problem. Thanks
This is how you do it right here. Quick and straight to the point. Doesn't need a 20-30 minute video.
Thanks
This is a life saver! I can't find any bike shops that are open right now and i need my bike to get to work. I have no other option than my bike and i was down to one brake as the other was completely loose.

SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT..... I couldn't climb hills, and I live in the hills. Can't wait to take those hills.
I was speeding when I had to brake HARD. As I was doing that the lever became loose, ,I thought its over but then I did some research and found you. THANK YOU FOR FIXXING it.
