Thanks for all these videos! So many are labeled as "step by step" and when you start watching they are already holding a part in their hand and dont tell how they took it off or ? This truly is step by step and the informational vid on how to know which type of brake you have, priceless! Thanks.

Good video. Lowering the straddle cable carrier increases braking power. Lower it enough and they almost feel like disc brakes! But as the video points a low height may give trouble with debris clearance. Also, a low carrier position gives less brake arm travel so you must set the pads very close to the rim to start with. Personally I like a somewhat lower position to give a strong brake feel. And I love that choosing the straddle cable carrier height gives you the option to set the braking power to what you want. Not all brake systems let you choose the amount of leverage.

I find if I can open my quick release then the break is very poor in strength. I also found that no matter what set of spacers I used I could not get the pads parallel with the rim... I'm told they should be very powerful brakes... I'm I yet to discover the secret to getting them to work the best they can? I use the tektro cantis shown in the video at 2:35 with the very Long lever arms.

I have a question about the Straddle cable carrier position. It is right in front of the eyelet at the centre of the fork where the two fork blades meet. That means no front bike rack can be placed, as 99% of front racks use that eyelet. Can the carrier be moved up whilst retaining adequate brake function, or is it better to completely change the v brake so the cable approaches from the left or right of the Centreline?

I am currently repairing the front brake of my girlfriend's bicycle. It has the same type as seen at 07:19. The cable snapped due to an accident. I changed it, cleaned everything but the damn circular thing (where the main cable goes through) keeps slipping to one side. I was like wtf is this?! Now I see that when the cable snapped the small hose that keeps things in place has fallen off. All I need to do is find a replacement! Thank you!

Quick question, I know this is probably a silly to ask but can you convert this into a side pull brake setup?
@parktool
@parktool Жыл бұрын
You can convert these to linear pull/ V brakes if you use short arms to correct the throw difference. There are only a rare few bikes/forks out there that would allow you to mount a side pull brake if it has canti's.

Question for you..... on my Cannondale Adventure bike, the front wheel/rim has a groove all around the circumference where the pad rides. The back rim doesn't. It appears to be built that way and isn't from damage. I'm guessing you are more familiar with bikes than me so I'm curious if you know if this is normal? I think it's called a Maddux 700c rim. I emailed the store I got it from but have no response yet. Thanks for your time.
@parktool
@parktool 3 жыл бұрын
Normally rim match, but not always. There are rims made with a "wear groove". As you ride and brake, the rim wears away and get thinner. Once that groove disappears, the rim is thinner at the sidewalls and should be replaced.

There are two sets of these spacers, one on each side of the caliper arm. The convex side must face the concave side. The back side of each is flat, and identical in diameter and every other way. The nut face and arm faces are flat, and need to contact the flat side of the spacer.

@@parktool Excellent video with a structured approach to setting up the brakes - but I have the same query. The Shimano leaflet for the Multi Condition Brake System shows the flat faces of both convex washers fitted against each side of the brake caliper arm to form a 'ball joint' allowing the brake block to rotate about the middle of the caliper arm.Are both approaches effective?

The "ergo lever" from Campagnolo is not designed for most linear pull brakes. If your brake calipers require a "long travel" lever, then the system is incompatible. See if this video helps get the housing to your brake: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX2bY32DbK1leNk -Calvin
