Always use the adapters that come with the calipers, not the old ones. And to find the sweet spot while tightening the calipers, press the brake lever and hold it like that while tightening the caliper screws. This will centre the caliper in the correct position.
that’s not how the cable length adjuster is meant to be adjusted, needs a longer cable housing if it can’t be shifted rearward by cutting and redoing cable ties.
The brake pads need time to adapt their shape to the rotor. The brakes need to be used a few dozen times before you'll start feeling them bite. That's perfectly normal. 👍
Because the brake pads are connected to the Hydraulic caliper. They are Hydraulic brakes, not a hydraulic brake system. A hydraulic system would include hydraulic brake levers and hydraulic lines to caliper. So the end result is getting fluid to caliper to close brakes on rotor, which both do, just different ways. My title doesn't say " Hydraulic Brake System" install.
I agree if no liquid is used it's not hydraulic ~ Hydraulics (from Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (húdōr) 'water', and αὐλός (aulós) 'pipe')[2] is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids. At a very basic level, hydraulics is the liquid counterpart of pneumatics, which concerns gases. Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on applied engineering using the properties of fluids. In its fluid power applications, hydraulics is used for the generation, control, and transmission of power by the use of pressurized liquids. Hydraulic topics range through some parts of science and most of engineering modules, and cover concepts such as pipe flow, dam design, fluidics and fluid control circuitry. The principles of hydraulics are in use naturally in the human body within the vascular system and erectile tissue.
@tonykearney3806 But there is liquid (oil) in the calipers. The action of fluid, a "Hydraulic function" still forces the caliper to close breaks onto brake disc rotor, which is still the same end function of a full hydraulic system kit.
Ball-end allen keys are a huge help when dealing with tight spaces like the back bolt on the rear caliper. They allow you to work slightly off-axis.

FYI
You can unscrew the cable end cap ...no need to cut!

What cycle stand are u using please let.me.know
Stops much faster now and stronger
How do you know what size of cap to get for your brake cable?
Should change the title to installing hydraulic brake caliper😂
i just installed mine today and cant seem to get a good bite on my rotor. any tips on how to adjust these?

I'm watching from Japan. It was helpful. Thank you.
looking to buy one of these R1's, they now have the Hydraulic Brakes from what I see, do you still have this bike any thoughts ?
Are you still happy with these brakes? I’m seeing reviews that state that they fail after a short while.
Little over year and still going strong.
nice
👍
Nice video
Red is even more cool....I am one cool daddy
Why does the title refer to Hydraulic brakes, then we are shown cable brakes?
So stupid and pointless...

@@tonykearney3806These brakes use hydraulic fluid which is stored in the calipers. They are cable-actuated hydraulic brake calipers.
