Great content. Can you do a tutorial on how to service the brake caliper please? Especially on the amount of torque needed to tighten the pivot nut of the brake calipers.

Thanks for the video - very informative! I would like to swich the front break from the right brake lever to the left brake lever and the rear break to the right brake lever. Is that an easy switching without adjusting the cable and cable housing or do I have to adjust the cable and housing length due to the folding mechanism and the way the cables are routed? (I want to have it the same way as my other bikes. From my research there is no correct way. British and Brompton bikes have the rear brake usually on the left brake lever where as European bikes have it usually on the right lever. I don't know about the rest of the world or 3sixty or pike.)

Yes very critical all your bikes' brake is the same orientation. Changing it requires total removal and reinstall

[@beachstart]

@@williamwu6261 Do you know, if I have to change the length of the braking cables if I swich from right to left? The cabel routing cannot swich sides.

[@alvinkwek12]

Where can I get the screw that adjust the reach? One side of the screw is missing
