Nice. My many years of auto, motorcycle, and small engine experience transfers to the hydraulic brakes on my bike. People don't even need the yellow bucket if they take off the other 2 screws that hold on the cover at the handle...

Thank you for the thorough instructions, my rear brakes on my 35 mph ebike are gone, so I tried the method of removing reservoir screw and pumping the lever to remove the air, but no joy. I will try your method next, but I have to get a bleeder funnel first. Thanks man.
@UncleFjester2 жыл бұрын
Could be your pads too! Any Bicycle brake set up isn't designed for the weight and speed an ebike produces, you may only get 500 miles from a pair. Good luck

I have been on youtube and google for several hours and I just happened to come upon your videos. You are SO SMART! I have the exact same problem with my Tektro Brakes HD-E350 as you with the one caliper moving and the other one not moving. But, my bigger problem is I had to buy a new brake hose kit (Trek store charged me $31 and then I found it on Amazon for $10). Anyway, I needed a longer hose because I raised my handlebars so far up that the brake line wouldn't reach anymore. I just want to put the brake lever and caliper back on with the new hose and I couldn't find out how. Now I know, thanks to you! I was on the verge of tears being that I have spent the entire day trying to get my bike up and running so I can go for a ride! I'm new at fixing my own bike. I can't thank you enough. Where are you located? I sure could use a bike mechanic like you to teach me the tricks.

Thanks DVDS, This means a lot to me. When I put my apes on, i had to lengthen both front and rear, I reused the rear for the front and bought new line on Amazon for the rear. Markup is part of every business, why should I risk capital to stock something I can't sell and make a profit on, that still has a risk of loss or theft. Invest in decent tools, as they will last ya a lifetime.

Where do I get a cup to fit my Tektro reservoir? One came with my kit, but it doesn't fit?
@UncleFjester Жыл бұрын
use the little brass adapter between the cup & reservoir
@christophermetz56416 ай бұрын
I tried this and it doesn't work for me. The pistons inside the cylinder still doesn't depress against rotor I'm getting no movement with the caliper
@UncleFjester6 ай бұрын
Yeah, the design on the lowest priced option for Tektro POS hydraulic brakes is 🐂💩. Only one of the pistons ever moved on my bike. Before you look for a brake upgrade you may try a full bleed on the lines and a complete disassembly of the caliper & piston

Typically it's the nylon planetary gears on the internal clutch beginning to shred. The little pieces are getting caught in the other teeth causing the crunching noise. Easy to replace.

hi.. if i have too much travel on the hydraulic brake lever does that mean it needs more fluid or is there another adjustment?
@UncleFjester4 жыл бұрын
If you don't have a measurable amount of air in the line then this burping method should fix it. If there is so much air or contaminants in the lines then you may want to do a full drain and refill. Just like everything in life, the first time will be a Fjuckin mess, the more you do it the easier it gets. I can do a full drain & fill in a few minutes now.

SurfBandFan 51 seconds ago (edited) Buy yourself a quart of Aeroshell 65 aviation oil for $10, add red dye and sell for $10/ for 100 ml. Not sure about the magic bicycle additives that we superstitiously have been given to believe in by the bike gods. I also reuse my fluid by running it through a mr. coffee paper filter.

Why is there so much travel in your lever? You need to be a less travel as possible without the pistons pushing the pads against the rotor.
