    Very good explained. In order to get the process 100% correct you need to add a charter with brake pad and disk clearing (standing and brake clearing agent).

    So interesting that he mentions the bleed nipple must be tightened to 1nm. I have destroyed two Clarks brake systems by tightening that nipple to what I thought was a reasonable tightness, utterly destroying the flimsy thread, 'cos I don't have a torque spanner.

      Performance of Clout1 is fantastic. On another topic, we've just completed the task with these instructions, it was great, no issues. Unfortunately, It makes loud squeaky noise (must be brake pads or positioning) and the performance went total crap. Redoing it tomorrow and fitting new pads.

    • @parktool
      @parktool  3 роки тому

      Does the brake stay pumped up after you pull it a few times? Its common to have to advance the pistons to contact the rotor before the pistons position themselves. If it does not stay pumped up you will need to bleed again. Also be sure to check that your pads do not need to be replaced.

      They are reliable, but these Clout1 brakes, like the Clarks M2 brakes, don't have much power. I've read that the Clarks M2 have 60% of the braking power of a Shimano Deore 2 piston brake, and the Clout1 is weaker than the M2. That's with the standard Clarks brake pads. You really have to use the Clarks with large brake rotors and good quality pads from Shimano, Swissstop, etc. to get barely acceptable performance for use on XC-type mountain biking.
      The Clout1 brake caliper has two 18mm pistons. By comparison, most Shimano 2 pot brakes have 22mm diameter pistons. Of course there are other factors at play (like the master piston diameter in the brake lever, and servo wave/swing link technology) but the brake piston diameter difference alone points to the Clout1 having 67% of the caliper brake power of a 2 piston Shimano caliper.
      The good news is that you can remove the Clout1 caliper and directly install something like a Shimano MT400 caliper (which costs about US$16-20). Or even better, you can do the same with a Shimano MT520 or MT420 four piston caliper (which has two 15mm pistons and two 17mm pistons) - like the MT400 this can be done without changing any hardware on the brake hose. Just unscrew the hose fitting from the Clarks brake caliper, screw the fitting into the MT420 caliper, bleed, and that brake immediately has around 60% more power based on the piston size alone, that's without accounting for the much larger brake pads used by the 4 piston calipers - for a cost of around US$40 for the Shimano caliper.
      If you do this to the front brake alone the lever feel between front and rear brake is a bit unbalanced ( the lever activating the Clarks caliper will feel a bit "wooden" and lever travel and power doesn't increase much as you pull harder, while the lever activating the Shimano caliper has more travel and modulation, with power increasing as you pull harder) but the increase in stopping power is large.
      How do I know this? Last year I bought a set of Clarks Clout1 front and rear brakes for less than US$40 including shipping to Canada from Chain Reaction Cycles. I figured I'd eventually use them. When I installed them on an old Trek Fuel my wife uses this past summer, they seemed just a bit too weak. I spent an additional US$60 to get a Shimano MT420 caliper and a Shimano MT400 caliper and ended up with a really strong complete set of brakes for around $100. This is still cheaper than a set of Shimano MT200 brakes, has a more ergonomic lever than either the MT200 or MT400, and has significantly more power.
      For this compatibility with Shimano calipers alone I really like these Clarks brakes.

    You make made it look like a lot of fafing around. The manufacturer Clarks in the UK didn’t make that much of a song and dance performance to do this job. I will keep it simple , our British way. It looks like your rear brake is on the Right side of handlebar, in the UK the front brake is on the Right, rear brake on the Left side of handlebar.
