Dear Mr. Jones,
As a newbie roadbiker who had absolutely no idea about the mounting of these sort of brake levers, I just wanted to thank you for being such an amazing guy for showing it in such a simple yet detailed manner!
You cant always trust the bar markings!!! I was wondering why I always had constant discomfort, it was driving me crazy. Turns out even though they were set the same, the left was a good 5-8mm higher! The string was really useful for this.
I discovered this with my shoes, the cleat position markings were not the same on each shoe.
Ditto, just set my shifters mm perfect to the bar markings and it's clearly out by 10-20mm on level 🙈
you can NEVER trust the markings.
Same here, my expensive bars had wrong markings. I used the straight edge and then remeasured from the floor.
This video is so good. Calvin is the King of bicycle mechanics, and his moustache is his crown.
Why would anyone downvote these videos? Park Tool is doing this for free you fools, you don't have to buy their tools merely by watching a video. It's just a recommendation, and their tools are of good quality anyway.
Provides a level of detail that others don’t. 👍🏼🚴🏻♂️
Thank you. I recently stripped down my road bike to paint the frame, but didn't take good enough notes to remember how to put everything back together. These videos are a life saver, and will save me a lot of money.
Brilliant video! When my brake lever came loose, I thought this was going to be an expensive bike repair!! The Corona virus quarantine forced me to get off my backside and attempt a DIY repair. Then I googled my problem and found this video! Only 1:14 seconds in and my problem is solved! Thanks Park Tools, you have yourselves 1 new, very happy subscriber :D
There are many people doing videos like this but that Jones guy is an authority in the matter, he's the best.
Thanks for showing the mounting bolt position on different levers!!
Great tutorial! Performing drop bar maintenance for the first time here, per a bar upgrade; your guidance is golden! Thank you.
Thanks, Parktool makes the best videos! This is the best marketing ever, helpful, perfect and making me want to buy all your tools!
I was having a bad day, couldnt be hussled to think over my current lever fitting, just casually clicked and wow there's Calvin Jones speaking. I'm finally learning these tricks too. This man is like Leonard Cohen or Attenbororugh. Absolute legend!! Respect from Italy.
Thanks again Park Tools. I recently replaced my bar tape, all cables and serviced the 105 Brifters. Upon reinstallation, I did not know how to reposition the levers correctly. You guys are life savers. Keep up the good work and keep cranking out great tools.
Thanks a million, thank you, Calvin Jones for all the instructions you provide us with!!
I think Park tool is the epitome of youtube channels regarding bike
Best videos on bike maintenance. Thank you Calvin Jones; you are the best in your profession.
Calvin Jones is a God. I followed the advice here and got a new bar mounted successfully without any serious issues. (It took me a lot longer than Calvin did, though; getting the lever angle right was surprisingly fiddly.)
Viewed a handful of vids from this channel and must say they are all excellent: proper explanation about how and why things are done the way they are done, and proper instructional visuals👌
This tutorial is so precise and detailed yet simple. Instant subscribe.
Calvin is the best! 😅
My expensive bars had wrong markings. I used the straight edge and then remeasured from the floor. Without this video I’d be completely stuck!
Thanks again Park tool! Precision equipment, precision video, precision moustache!
Great guide, the only one I've seen that talks through various types one by one.
Best brake lever mounting & positioning i had watch. Thank you.
The string technique is ideal, i put a weight on each end so i had my hands free, then measured the distance from the flat part of the bar on each side.
In Calvin Jones we trust. How can anyone honestly give him a thumbs down?
As soon as I saw this fella with his moustache and apron at the beginning of the video, I already trusted what he had to say.
Very good video, enjoyed the string level part. I always put a yardstick across the top of the levers and used a small bubble level on top of the yardstick. You have to make sure the bike itself is as straight as possible because that affects the leveling process. Will probably try the string method next time. Great how you went through all the different types of levers.
That string tip is genius!
Indeed, strings are also useful for in frame cables mounting.
Same my hoods were a bit uneven.. i came across video to learn about it
Thanks so much Calvin, this is a very helpful video for a newbie like me.
So good! My go-to channel for all things mechanical on my bike.
Best video on the subject ever!
Yep
Thanks for the great tip of how to set up a road handlebar.
Thank for showing where bolts are for every type of lever!
Newt Tella mines covered up i took the rubber off and still see none idk how to screw the bolts in
Justin Mitchell What brand and model is it?
Newt Tella nvm i got it thanks
That’s a great idea with the string. Will have to try that to make sure mine are symmetrical.
Love ParkTool videos cause they're best!
Im a beginner biker and less knowledge when it comes to road bikes and etc but because of this channel it's like I know almost everything when it comes to road bike upgrades or repairing ☺️☺️ thanks❤️❤️
You are the best mechanic i have seen on you tube
God bless you sir ❤
Another well explained and easy to understand tutorial.
Thank you Park Tools for these videos. I love your tools, too.
Once again...another great Park Tool vid.
appreciate your helpful instructions, and am slowly building my arsenal of Park Tools, absolutely love being able to fix my own bikes
Another superb video from Calvin! Thank you.
Those Shimano bolts are well hidden! Thanks for the reminder!
Omg they've install many levers from different brand and different models for this video, great effort
... they've installed* many levers from different brands* ...
Hello Calvin Jones, thank you for the great video again.
6:00 I took the rubber off, mounted the levers using my torque wrench, and then put the rubber back from front.
Did the levers know you had taken the rubber off before mounting them?
Awesome Video tutorial! more please!
how about aligning handlebars?
Bless this channel
I have cycled for 20yrs+ and this has always irritated me soo much on the levels - thank you 🙏
Thanks, I should be able to locate the bolt now.
Спасибо. Всё доходчиво и понятно без перевода. Thanks sir
Thank you so much for making this video, very informative and helpful
i wish i had the long allen screwdriver... the short one is a pain in the ass
TheTriangle444 use a copper pipe for leverage
Very helpful video! Thank you.
Super Information Thank you !
thank you for this video. best video to help with bar positioning and angle as i'm new to the sport.
This was helpful, thx!
Very helpful thankyou
Thanks. Very clear advice.
what would i do without you Mr Jones?! cheers!
Thanks 🙏🏼 for your help
You give great advice Calvin. You da man!
Best video! Very Helpful!
Calvin is DAMAN
Many thanks for the tips, great video!
im going to use kelar tape on my bars where the levers clamp on
Simply the best bike repair videos! :)
One of the very useful videos
Thank you, super useful and interesting video!
Great video as always from Park Tool
2:22 Many thanks, I could not find the screws for my Dura Ace ST-7700!
Pull the rubber hoods forward from the back. Look on the outside of each lever. Once you know the location, you can use a long 5mm hex and reach them from the front by sliding it under the hood.
@@parktool Worked fine, thanks for the fast answer!
Big help,save time and money going to shop, thank you
GREAT HELPFUL Video THANKS
Sorry I have a question regarding the position of a compact handlebar, is setting the same? Because I read on instructions that the brake levers have to be a little bit higher than drops (3/5cm)
Two questions:
- These days many are turning their hoods somewhat to the inside of the bars, ostensibly for ergonomics. What do you think of this?
- What do you think of putting carbon paste between the hood & the handlebar?
thank you
Thank you Sir!!!
Great video on this, thanks!
I love you Calvin.
Thank you for uploading
Great help - many thanks
Thanks Calvin!
Does anybody know what the recommended torque is for Ritchey Butano Comp handelbars and GRX400 shifters?
No matter how much torque I apply to my brake levers, they are not gripping my steel retro bars as tight as the ones on my modern road bike. As a result, they tend to turn inward anytime I apply a little force. Any tips how to make sure they grip the bars? Thanks for the amazing content!
Chrome steel is a difficult surface to grip. Double check the diameter. They should be 23.8mm. Also see the clamp strap is not deformed or damaged.
I thought im watching jim croce..
Thanks sir
Great job pal...! I know how to fix a handle bar in 2018, cool.
are there any precautions when using carbon bars? i kno clamping metal on carbon can be an issue
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you !!
Good video and amazing guy. Thanks Calvin
so helpful
Useful information
Thank You !!!!
excellent explanation.... thanks
Are you using grease on the bolt with those torque settings?
How did you guys get the Caloi bicycle from?
I love it
How wide are those drop handlebars? I’m tall and wondering if they are to be to some measurement of the rider. Mine are definitely too narrow.
Do you recommend using grip paste between the bar and clamps?
That can help on carbon fiber bars. If the levers do not secure well at tightening the bolt, some paste will increase the friction between bar and lever body.
@@parktool Thanks for the reply and thanks for making these useful videos!
I have a 2023 Marin Four Corners and, when I have the bars at the height I like them, the bar ends contact the top tube when they’re turned sharply. Should I sacrifice comfort to avoid this?
Thanks!
That is a good question. You will only turn sharpy when crashing, so don't crash. If you are racing, crashing is certainly a possibility. If you have to raise it a lot, say 2-3 cm, you certainly will change your posture and your comfort level. Sometime you can rotate the bars as well, but again that changes your posture on the bike. Some padded tape on the top tube can help protect the finish, but is not the nicest look. The bigger issue might be not damaging the brake levers that strike it. Good luck.
@@parktool thank you for responding! I certainly don’t plan to crash but there certainly is some increased risk with some of the roads I ride. I will look into some tape to help protect the top tube. I am still trying to find my ideal setup on this bike, and the bar position may change over time.
Thanks again!
Ian from Egypt and I know too much from you to my bike
Ihave a used trinx R310 with shimano index system but without the handles
Thank you.
