One of the most important things to check on Super73's is the brakes and the rotors. This is a really good video because many of us don't know where the noise is coming from and how to fix it without going to an e-bike/bike mechanic. Thanks for this video guys!
What a great video! Thank you so much! My son got a new Super 73 bike and his back brakes were making this awful grinding noise. I watched your video and was able to fix the problem! Thank you Thomas!
My brakes still make a noise, upgraded to the maguras and put a new disk - stopped for a bit then started again. It seems to only make the noise when I start going faster if I’m cruising slow no noise… any ideas?
@@lordanubis5965 Oh damn, some people are just unlucky. Grab some Tuffy tyre liners from our online store, since you've got the wheel off anyway, throw some extra protection in there.
You can put a piece of paper between the disk and the pad when you're adjusting your brakes to help. this way when the barkes are adjusted, you remove the paper and you are sure to have a little gap between the pad and the disk! Cheers

my heroes.. wow THANKS A LOT A LOT!!!!!!!!
I bedded the brakes as recommended right out of the box and my rear brake is squealing. Any recommendations or do I have to live with it??
I saw a video were someone replaced the brake pads on their band new RX with some higher quality pads and the squealing stopped.
Thanks for the video! What is that green multi-purpose tool called?
It's a Torx 25, It's not a multi tool though, just a T shaped
Great vid. Now I’m off to give it a try. Although mine only started after the rain thing. So maybe a Bunnings run.
Glad we could help 👍
@@benbucklerboards i’m up to puncture number two. Probably need a tyre replacement video next.

Is this the same for a zx?
Hey there! We assume it would be similar yes, we haven't seen the ZX yet!
How do you get the tektro brake pads close to disc?

Mines is in the front
