Xiaomi M365: Tutorial How to adjust rear brakes

[@NoName-mc7bh]

Thank you so much! I adjusted them after 1700km and it feels like a brand new scooter.

[@dorianswerdlow3239]

Be careful to adjust the cable tension so that the disk brake engages AFTER the front e-ABS brake. That way you get the full stopping power of both wheels, and you get the benefit of battery regeneration, and you save wear on the disk brake. Thanks for a really helpful video.

[@FiveTM]

so loosing to it so it start braking after ?

[@peterbalazs516]

@@FiveTM Others say that it should only lock the rear wheel, when the brake lever is completely pulled. Thus minor braking would initiate the front e-ABS.

[@ajovev]

Very helpful comment! I also adjusted mine to first blink the rear light and then to touch the disc brake. This way the cruise control will be deactivated, the mainboard knows that I'm braking, before the rear disc is physically breaking. It is just a little bit looser, but i will use it now at this setting. Other option for me was to tighten the cable as here in the video, but I'm afraid i will lose more rubber from the rear wheel, I don't drive very fast. Btw my disc arrived bent, it was hit by sth, but i managed to deform it in the almost perfect shape using an adjustable wrench!!! I'm happy now, just waiting for good weather to go outside and test :)

[@ZeNex74]

how can i adjust the front brake? comes on way too hard and throws me almost?

[@dorianswerdlow3239]

@@ZeNex74 The front braking is electronic and set in the app with your phone.

[@blosjapp]

Thank you so much for this! Used it tonight, brakes are perfect now :)

[@mits_le_bouri9079]

Thank you very much on the tutorial, it's really useful being able to repair things by yourself

[@bencze465]

Thank you, great video with very good camera angles and details. Unfortunately my brake is still having a weird rattle can't figure out what it is, but at least it works stronger now and I understand the screws.

[@tomroe114]

Thank you very much for your detailed video. Easy to follow and my brake is working perfectly now. 👍

[@Hrisson]

Thank you for your comment ! Makes me happy :)

[@topas80]

Breaks are perfect now thanks to this video. Thank you so much!

[@user-xr7er6kx6t]

Thank you for the video, very clear even to a total noob like me. I had a problem with the disc touching the pad after a fall, and followed your advice to adjust the caliper. However, I first tried releasing the cable but could not loosen the two screws with which you started: they were like stuck to each other, and turning in the same direction, and using pliers was starting to mangle the metal. I then realised I DID NOT need to release the cable in order to adjust the caliper, and did the latter successfully. Why do you then start by releasing the cable?

[@in4moon]

Faster and more accurate is to: fold scooter, unscrew two rear break mounting bolts, place a postcard between internal pad and disc, squeeze break lever on handlebars, while holding the lever squeezed, tighten mounting bolts, after that tighten the break link to perfection. ... no need to fine tune the internal pad anymore, as thanks to postcard disc is just next to it , and at a perfect angle. PS only the outside pad moves when you squeeze the lever, that's why you want to position your disc next to internal pad and adjust the link.

[@nuncatto]

hey man, did you have to make like a reaaaally hard force to unscrew the bolts? I don´t know why but mines are really really hard, can´t move them even a little bit

[@lewisfoster5192]

I’ll try

[@orange42]

Works great, thanks! Just thinking, instead of using a card perhaps just tighten the rear pad a turn onto the disc, do the adjustments you mentioned, and back the rear disc off again when needed.

[@roslynitsyroslyn8885]

thnx

[@samuelcooke1412]

What kind of thickness is the postcard? Would a normal card from a pack of cards be a good thickness?

[@mxnny20]

Thank you. You helped me fix my new e-scooter.

[@chrislarge718]

Thanks for this video fixed my problem perfectly!

[@Farekim]

Loose the brake and align it by using brake. The calipers will align it for you.

[@mireazma]

Very clean, bravo!

[@gregvr9955]

Thank you!

[@teamlook2329]

Thanks good tutorial. Found inner pad was adjusted all the way out. Surprising that wasn't checked by Xiaomi at factory

[@altruso9595]

Great tutorial, I've just fixed my mijia 👍

[@REALchocochan]

it was helpful thank you, on my m365 pro the right braking pad was too far and I had to tighten the cable.

[@rymdskrotet]

Should I move the screw on the handle all in first? Exept for not working as good as before, my brakes has also started to make a screaming noice when braking. Not sure how to fix that...

[@seriouxsound4934]

Thankx

[@pe6oskobata540]

Thank you! You helped me a lot!

[@FlashBalash]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@MiksuMike]

How about if my brakes seems to stop working under random reasons. Sometimes they work and sometimes not. I do have custom firmware but even going to stock I was still having this issue. Would this perhaps fix it?

[@Nik4o1977]

Nice and clear tutorial, thanks!

[@georgealex19]

Did you guys experience an oval disk like sound, prior to this adjustment? Mine was quite noisy indoors due to this and am thinking of returning it due to this, although now the noise is gone and the brake works well....

[@rfh9560]

That was very informative

[@mitp2514]

What size is the spanal

[@antonyphilip8456]

Worked. Thanks :)

[@septemous]

Can anyone confirm the size of the spanner needed to adjust the cable? Thank you.

[@vijayvivek2000]

thanks buddy!!

[@mld8]

This was really helpful. Merci!

[@samratpaul25]

I need more stopping power - Setting the KERS (RegEn) to STRONG - Will it increase my stopping power than compared to WEAK - my disc brake is not too efficient... Thanks.

[@Nisotovski]

Yes it will help! but be aware you can burn your controller if the KERS is set to the strongest

[@taylorwhite3636]

Very helpful video, thank you

[@projeff490]

Thank you very much you are good man!!

[@George.Gadgets]

I have read that some people say in other places that in order to adjust the brake pad / mechanism, it's necessary to press the brake lever strong, and then adjust all the things that you do. Is it true? I really don't know what must I do.

[@maciejpelc9039]

what the guy does here is correct so don't worry.

[@trabitboy]

Hi ! Useful video ! Could I ask you what is the brand of the "safe lock" you use on the rear wheel, and where to find it ? Thanks \o/

[@jorgeriosgomez6263]

Thank you very much for you tutorial.

[@Hrisson]

Thank you for your message

[@antben]

What is the accessory you have on the back wheel.

[@leemurray3653]

That was hard work easier way to do it loosen the screw pull the brake paddle then tighten up takes 1 min.

[@Mackdmg]

Thanks mate, it helped ;)

[@jimroadhers]

What is one the the end of the axel?

[@user-sb1ph8wu3n]

Thanks you, informative

[@chrisastbury9298]

Hi Hrisson. I have adjusted the caliper, totally smooth now.. It's not catching the blade at all. The only thing is I activate the brake lever and it doesn't stop the wheel at all! No brakes. What have I done wrong.

[@SimiTravels]

nice video man. thank you !!!!! :-)

[@CaptiRando]

was useful thanks :)

[@htchubuk]

How do I adjust it so my light comes on when I pull the break in slighty before I am breaking fully? Right now I’m having to pull my break lever all the way in before the light even lights up.

[@8KGofCrack]

Thanks a lot your tutorial was really helpful!

Hi Hrisson. Just looking for your advice - please see my question below from last week.

[@chrisastbury9298]

Hi Hrisson. Keep coming back in the hope that you have replied to my question below.

[@bov]

nice

[@whiteCHAYTON]

thank you, great tutorial

[@whiteCHAYTON]

so i did like you showed in the video. but one thing i am still asking is. how much do you have to push the brake lever? in my case i have to press it completely to the end to make it full brake. and i am not sure if this is good because on my bicycle i also have brake disc but i only have to push it the half to make it full brake. so i couldn't figure this out in your video. thx

[@Hrisson]

whiteCHAYTON these brake disc are not very efficient, they are not hydraulic. You might have to push your lever deeply, depends on your disk shape and brakes ajustements

[@escorpionkuix]

It really depends on how sensitive you want it to be. I for example have it so the wheel will lock when pulling the lever about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way. That way I don't have to travel a lot to adjust pressure. Some of my friends however prefer to use the whole range of motion on the lever. I would say that as long as you are able to lock the wheel in an emergency, how much to pull on the lever is a matter of personal preference.

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

What if when I ride the wheel becomes really hard to spin and has alot of friction without the brake on. Then when I apply the brake the wheel shifts to one side making a clicking sound and then it spins OK. Im gonna try adjusting it, does your wheel spin good all the time?

[@lukewilliams9428]

Timothy Church I am having the same problem that you described did you figure out a solution so that the wheel turns smoothly?

[@NightSociety]

will this help to eliminate the noise?

[@Hrisson]

Which noise are you talking about?

[@stakzfn84]

I accidentally fell of my scooter and now brake is tightened to much and back tire won’t move

[@Bergwacht]

i just tried to use a better brake with 2 brake shoes from a bicycle - it fits perfectly, brakes better and is much more easy to adjust :) just change that whole shitty standart brake xD

[@marleybrown4554]

You changed the brake pads or the whole brake caliper ?

[@Bergwacht]

@@marleybrown4554 I dipped the brake off the bike for a better one, only the brake itself. I didn't have to change anything on the attachment. in most versions of the xiaomi, adapted to other countries, some things have been changed, especially europe.

[@Vaalferatus]

My disk is so bent it rubs with both sides.

[@paulcheetham2893]

My rear brake light has broken, I think the setting you set here with The lever positioned half way meant that the break light is constantly on - now my light doesn't't work at all - anyone else found the same thing?

[@IguanaMGT]

Hrisson, why exactly would you like your wheel to lock when you press your brake lever? 🤔

[@skeelo69]

at 5:50 it might be worthwhile getting some modelling paint and painting a small line anywhere on the back pad when you are happy to mark the perfect alignment .

[@Kreatur84]

Cant open this fucking screws. They sitting like glued

[@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

My break disk is not even..cant adjust not to touch brake pads :(

[@poritsanosv1]

Tomas Av. I had the same issue. I pulled the disk with a pair of pliers at the point it was touching the pads and it’s better now
