Free Stroke Adjustment Trick | Hydraulic Disc Brakes With No Adjustment Screw

[@dansakuma-ff6hz]

Thanks!

[@TheBikeSauce]

Thanks, Dan!!!!!

[@RobertOsman-m2n]

That was the best bike hack I've ever seen on youtube. Literally 2minutes per wheel. Brilliant.

[@barrma1]

Loved your video. I used a slightly different approach. I measured the thickness of my rotor at 1.64 mm. Then got out feeler gauges and tried different combinations until I found 1.57 mm thickness. I dropped the wheels out and put the feeler gauges between the pistons of the Shimano 105 hydraulic brake. When I actuated the front lever the brake pistons came in to grip the feeler gauges, causing a slight tightening of the free stroke. This method gave me precise control and works beautifully. Whatever the thickness of your rotor is, use feeler gauges that total .07 mm thinner. If you want even less free stroke, try .09 mm thinner. I think you’ll be pleased with the results.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Nice! A much more controlled approach.

[@jamescourier1545]

This is exactly what I was going to say. Fool it into thinking the rotor is a bit thinner with metal shims. Brilliant. I just discovered my brand new XTR M9100 2 piston brakes have no free stroke adjustment. Gonna do this!!!!!

[@Dee-Ell]

Thanks to your comment, I learned what a "feeler gauge" is and that such tool exists. 😀

[@jamescourier1545]

With my M9100 XTR, .051" of shims worked great for a .070" XTR rotor. I may try to go a bit further. This method works excellent. 👍👍

[@VegasMike1904]

I know this is an old comment, but just wanted to thank you. I was going to try this later today thinking it might work on my 105 brakes, I'm glad to hear it worked before I dig my feelers out of storage.

[@georgepepperman4584]

Super effective teaching! You broke down the steps and reasons in an easy to understand method. Most home bike tweekers can now impress their friends!

[@aidanwhelan2599]

GREAT VID .Dont forget if you push the pistons out a bit you make space in the systym.replace that space with hyd oil;

[@yokeandspoke8667]

I've had this problem for ages and kept bleeding my brakes to try and fix it. Just tried this and what a difference. Thanks

[@alanjohnston3090]

Nice video and very informative! Instead of squeezing the brake lever incrementally with no rotor present, just put together a credit and, say, a business card (about 1.6mm thickness) and place these between the pads before squeezing the brake fully. if still too much free stroke, remove the business card and repeat with just the credit card. This way you can gradually decrease the free stroke without going too far.

[@r10000mips]

I adjust free stroke by installing a square or 2 of highly sticky 'scotch' aluminium foil to the rear of the pads. This tape is used in the aero industry for similar purposes.. I get the product from a friend who works In the UK and services helicopters for offshore. Used it forever on mechanical and hydraulic pedal cycle brakes.. Its very precise to me and easy.

[@JohnBinns-b4s]

Brilliant video, really well presented and the tinker works effectively. My levers have a free stroke screw but it made little difference. This approach is perfect.

[@eviloatmeal]

Concise and very informative! As a v-brake user, I enjoy a very short free stroke on my back brake, and I'm always surprised (and slightly terrified) whenever I find myself squeezing a hydraulic brake lever, and nothing happens for the first 50-60% of the lever's travel. Now that I'm adding a bike with disc brakes to my stable, your procedure will likely be one of the first things I perform on it in order to be able to trust the brakes and love the bike.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Nice! Thing is the effective pull ratio is different on v brakes vs disc. Whereas you can get a away with very tight v brakes, disc brakes with too little free stroke are subject to disc rub if rotors aren’t perfectly straight

[@eviloatmeal]

@@TheBikeSauce That makes sense. And it's something I will learn to understand and get used to. But as you describe in the video, it's also an important aspect to feeling safe and confident.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Right on!

[@thedownunderverse]

@@TheBikeSauce True, and one negative of disc brakes in general. I hear Shimano has plans to address this in future.

[@ericcrownover1638]

Thank you so much for teaching me how to reset my hydraulic calipers. I pressed the brake lever when the wheel was off and didn't know how to fix that problem until watching your video. Thank you for anticipating my problem and having an easy fix.

[@clinlashway9147]

I'm pretty sure this will only work for a while. Once the pads and rotor wear down, the system will begin to compensate normally again. Of course depending on how quickly you wear down the pads, this may last a reasonably long time before you would have to do it again.

[@vaughanbbrean71]

Brilliant and well explained!!!! I have just bought a Creo with GRX600 levers and was dissapointed there was no adjustment, this is a great workaround thanks for the tip!!!!

[@DiesUndDasOderDasDa]

Wow, this is the best bike maintenance hack EVER! Thanks a lot for the idea!

[@WhiteMFingRabbit]

I wish Shimano-tec videos were this well executed and paced!

[@roleypup]

Agreed, on the few rides I'd done on bikes with hydraulic brakes I found the excess freeplay rather unnerving. My preference on rim brakes has been to set the brakes up so that the slightest movement of the lever engages the brake. But to transfer to hydraulics, having to hunt around for that engagement point on a brake system with so much stopping power, with a corner fast approaching is a recipe for losing the back wheel or being thrown over the bars. Thank you for this, I've just made the adjustment on a recently-purchased bike.

[@eldarssa2788]

Wow, this is an awesome tip! I wish the bike shop mechanics would be so knowledgable.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Glad it was helpful. I’m sure your local mechanics know this too.

[@eldarssa2788]

@@TheBikeSauce I was at 2 bike shops and nobody could help with this free stroke, they just said that it is not adjustable. One bike shop said, that I need to change the brake pads, which I doubt, because the bike is only 4 months old and 1000km of total distance ridden. Your advice acually helped to make the brake at least usable, however I think there is also air in the system, that needs to be removed.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Nice! Well a full bleed will likely help, but this trick works in a pinch

[@antoniosanto2617]

@@eldarssa2788 I’m in the same situation, free stroke seems to be a “problem” for many people

they are. it's just not in their interest to set you straight. they rely on you coming back. that's why they only do what you ask for.

[@yrobinet]

Thank you, this worked great for me too, but I don't understand how this works since the system is a closed loop. Can you explain how this works for the cylinder to stay in position without adding oil?

[@Soundbeforelight]

Amazingly helpful video. I haven't done bike maintenance for a couple years now but I just got a new bike that comes with hydraulic brakes installed. Unfortunately the box looks like it got banged up and the front wheel wasn't installed in shipping. This whole time I've been trying to figure out why the tension is way too tight on the front wheel and every video I've watched about hydraulic brakes just talks about caliper alignment. I hadn't heard about this biking taboo about engaging the brakes without a disc but this makes so much sense with hydraulics. The brakes on my bike must've been engaged in transport. I'm going to try resetting the resting point like you showed but now I also have the bonus of knowing about this free stroke adjustment hack!!! Thanks so much. You explain things so well, even for a beginner like me!

[@TheBikeSauce]

Cheers!

[@faultlinegravel]

Nice! Just got my bike back from the shop after a brake bleed, and my levers had way to much free stroke. Thought i was gonna have to take a trip back to the shop. Thank you!

[@2mvX]

I started asking question after the 4th approach of rear brake bleeding process. This video helped me out and brakes works much better now

[@christophercondron5388]

Just get the syringe with a small drop of oil and pump it into the caliper don't do anything with the brake lever so as you apply pressure open and close the little tab then try your brake lever this is the best hack is out there

[@koopa1375]

Bravo fantastic trick! Thank you. this method shortens free stroke by essentially resetting the pads closer to the rotor. Like the video said, if your rotor is not near perfectly straight, or you have disc rub issues, then this trick may not work for you.

[@MartianTom]

Thanks for this. I've just bought a new Canyon Endurace 7 with a Shimano 105 groupset, including disc brakes. The front brake lever has way more travel than the rear brake, and I prefer them to be equal and quite tight. I'll give this hack a try to see if it helps.

[@MartianTom]

Actually, the levers do have adjusters. Shimano must have added this to the 105s since this video.

[@TheBikeSauce]

adjusters for reach, or free stroke? most have reach adj , but no free stroke

[@peterkerr164]

Ain't that the truth!

[@apt8012]

Yeah, why is this not in the manual?

[@TheBikeSauce]

It’s kind of a hack and really only meant as a temporary fix

[@christaylor1374]

I can’t see how this adjustment will hold for more than a short while. The hydraulic system from lever/reservoir to pistons has a very specific volume and, at any point in time, a very specific amount of fluid in it. Partially pushing out the pistons in this way will momentarily expand the volume of the system, but not fluid filling it, effectively inducing a slight negative pressure in the line and reservoir. The only way to get a lasting shorter and firm stroke is to add more fluid to the system by bleeding and filling. I did try the hack on my GRX 600s and all I achieve was a bit of rotor rub and no change to the stroke. I pushed the pistons back and will proceed to a full bleed.

[@adriansue8955]

^this. the 'trick' only works till your pads wear back to the starting gap distance, at which point they'll maintain that; as the system is designed to advance pads to a set distance for wear compensation. Maybe you get away with it for some time on a road bike? but on a MTB it'll only last one good ride or two. Ugh, had one hack mechanic at my shop who would pull this garbage instead of real bleeds....

[@danreynolds1142]

Great video, i have dura ace, but cant find the free brake adjustment. Any ideas?

[@jurozamko7875]

pads should reset themselves if you sqieeze brake leavers too much. what actually can help is reducing thickness of bleeding block slightly so you will overfill system with brake fluid so pistons will be naturally furter out just do not overfill it too much :)

[@tanhalt]

Hmmm...thinking about how the cylinder seals advance with pad wear, doesn't pad wear slowly "undo" your adjustment, to the point where the seal finally rolls forward enough to advance (at the original pad to rotor spacing)? Seems like you'd have to do this adjustment a few times over the life of the pads, and it's basically eliminating one of the advantages of hydraulic disc brakes (i.e. automatic pad wear adjustment)

[@TheBikeSauce]

You're not wrong. It's certainly not a 'clean' solution, but it helps in the meantime if you don't have higher end levers

[@tanhalt]

@@TheBikeSauce I can appreciate that.

I really need to try this on my sram axs setup. The adjustment is at max but still the pads don't make contact till the levers are near the bars. Even the bike shop said that's just the way it is, nothing can be done. Glad I saw this

[@TheBikeSauce]

AXS levers definitely have a free stroke and a reach adjustment. You’ve got both maxed out? If so, then perhaps play with the clamping position on the bars. If all else fails, this trick should help

[@meneldil7604]

did that turn out to be a bad bleed cos sram bleed is a PIA

[@stratplayer10]

Such a clear presentation, well done for sussing this out and presenting it so well, thank you

[@Wds__99]

So how do we adjust the free stroke on Grx 810? I can’t find any adjustment screw.

[@GeraldGuevara]

Do you think I can use a feeler gauge with a bunch of thickness to dial in the free stroke instead. Like stick a feeler gauge that is a little thinner than the rotor. I feel like this might be more consistent and can dial in the free stroke better based on feeler gauge thickness being used.

[@TheBikeSauce]

For sure

[@HBSVDK]

2nd this. Done it myself: 250€ damage

[@RayStrilec]

I found placing something slightly thinner than the disc to put in between the pads, before engaging the brakes, provided a good resting point. I experienced a little brake rub and found recentering the caliper fixed it. Thanks for the tip!

[@thromboid]

I'm about to try this for the first time and was thinking of doing the same thing, stacking up a few plastic cards so I can adjust as needed.

[@lesliegoa]

Ditto here, realigning the caliper housing gets rid of any rub.

[@lundoftheeast219]

At 4:56 you adjusted the reach with what looked like a toothpick...how exactly did you do that? Is there a dialing screw like on other levers?

[@TheBikeSauce]

GRX levers have a 2.5mm (I think) reach adjustment screw accessible from the side of the lever. It turns a cam and sets the reach very easily

[@pressaltf4495]

can this also be applied to mtb hydraulic disc brakes?

Yea should work in a pinch

[@TheBikeSauce]

😆 well that’s just no fun

[@vahpr]

Excellent concise explanation, thank you.

[@deryoshi]

I always thought it would adjust on its own but you really need to remove the disc to get that extra movement. But never remove the break pads too, because if you close the break too far, you might destroy the membrane of the brake (completely destroying the brake and hydraulic fluid leaking out)

[@antoniosanto2617]

Hi, thanks for your video, in fact I was looking for a video which explains how to reduce free stroke on my new Bike. I come from a rim brake bike and on my new disc brake I noticed that the lever is too long. So the procedure is to remove the wheel and try a little bit to squeeze the lever without wheel, right?

[@TheBikeSauce]

Yup. Once the free stroke is reduced, you can then adjust the lever reach to be closer to the bar

@@TheBikeSauce I have no experience with this (just interested because I have small hands and wondering whether I need GRX 812 levers on my first road/gravel bike), but as soon a I saw you adjust the pads back in just by pushing them with that plastic tool, my question was: how do they not just reset by themselves when you use them for the first time?

[@TheBikeSauce]

Good question. I think it has to do with where the force is coming from. Pushing the pads manually is different from actuating the lever and having the master cylinder compress the brake fluid. Either way, it’s certainly a hack. Works well for me and levers don’t reset to their original position.

[@baribari600]

@@TheBikeSauce I tried filing it down to .2 mm thinner than the rotor. I wouldn't recommend going any thinner than this. There's just a little bit of stroke before top edge of the pad hits the rotor, which is enough to cause drag but not enough to provide any braking force. Now I think the pad to rotor angle actually causes more perceived free play than the air gap.

Machined or filed by hand?

[@agstudioband]

@@TheBikeSauce yea sure i get it, i am only thinking if you do it with a really worn out pads, if it is needed to add the fluid into system, just asking

[@LuLeBe]

If the Shimano System is as effective as on their MTB lineup, it's useless anyways. Literally nothing happens when you change free stroke on the XT/XTR system.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Haha hadn’t experienced that in the past

[@marnixvanderkolk]

So in al actuality you are simply reducing pad travel and therefore reducing gap between pad and disc thus causing even more rubbing with less debris on the system. which is already pretty anoying on a GRX brake on gravel. And every little bit the pad wears creates more travel so undoing your work. Up to the point that you're back to the original travel.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Yup. Most of the higher end levers have a knob or adjustment screw to do this for you

[@marnixvanderkolk]

@@TheBikeSauce sorry but that is not the case. On the high end levers you can adjust the free play between lever and piston as well as the reach of the lever. But that doesn't reposition the pads/pistons in the calliper. There is even a overlap between the two adjustments. But as it is an open system (as opposed to what you mention in the beginning) the piston in the lever has to retract all trhe way to open towards the reservoir. Thus it's not possible to adjust the travel of that piston itself. What you are doing is simply limiting the travel inwards of the pads therefore also the gap between pad and disc potentially causing rubbing or more rubbing and wear af pad and disc. And most of all irritating noise. None of that is done with the adjustment of the high end levers

[@TheBikeSauce]

Sure, but it’s the same effect if you can’t afford high end levers. Not a perfect solution, hence the disclaimers in the video. If you can true disc rotors well, then no rubbing. I’ve had no rubbing on this setup so far and I use this technique on all my bikes. Disc rotor rubbing is irritating, I agree with you
