Common V-Brake Problems and Solutions
Nate Pinney of FCCB shows the most common problems with V-Brakes, also called "Linear Pull Brakes". Solving these problems just requires a little knowledge, and maybe a 5mm hex key or Phillips #2 screwdriver!

This video, from Falls City Community BikeWorks in Louisville, Kentucky was produced in August of 2018 to educate cyclists about how to keep their bikes from being stolen.
For my bike, the spring had come undone, and the cable housing was out of the barrel! I would never have spotted these two issues without the help of this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
What the hell is this? Most of these errors can be seen by a 3 years old kid. Cable housing is out of barrel? Wow what a mess
The best is the Center pull brake, it works together and won't give problem (Except change the brake pads)
If you use hand brake. Simpelt the Best video out there 👍
My bike doesn't have a metal bit to push it through on the first one
On the first one it hurts my hand to push it in
My problem isn't the spring at least I don't think so. When I use the front brake the pad rubs against the tire I have to manually pull it away from the tire what could that be?
Thank you! I just bought a bike for my kid, and the brakes are all kinds of messed up. I should be able to get them all sorted out now!
Excellent, excellent, excellent!
Well, this gave me something to noodle over!
Perfect video for DIYers ! Thank you ! I can now fix my grandson/s bike brakes !
What do you think causes a slow or weak release? Brake spring in highest tension and cable is free
The brake studs may need cleaning and lubrication. The brake pads may be worn unevenly, and getting wedged into the rim. Otherwise, it's a cable friction issue. Diagnosing the brake function with the cable detached is a good way to isolate the variables.
Hey do you have a solution for on of the rubbers stoping the wheel going under the rim?
This is usually due to worn pads. Improper pad alignment can cause uneven wear of the pads, causing the tops to wear before the bottoms. When this happens, the pad becomes wedge shaped and slides down below the rim when you engage the brake. Pad replacement and proper alignment is the solution. The hack fix is to realign the worn pads so that the far bottom of the pad strikes the rim more perpendicularly.

Great video! Thanks
My brake handle keeps sticking, causing the brakes to lock up...
Great video, but do you have a video for the rear brakes also?
None of them worked the spring tension one only half worked because it didn't work before
Do disk brakes need less or more maintenance than V brakes? Are adjustments on disk brakes just as "easy" as V brakes? Thanks
This is super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, now I'm going to go fix my bike brakes.
Wooden floor is very distractive. Or else place cycle in such position that lines of wooden floor bring attention in not out.
No it’s not, I have adhd aswell
Thank you so much for this video.very helpful😊
Very good clearly explained video on brakes.
Thank you so much ☺️
This is a fantastic video, thank you for being so clear
Actual help with these brakes.. Many thanks.
Thanks for the tip your awesome 😊
This is advanced bicycle mechanics.. im strugglign to keep up
Seriously thanks, was getting worried I’d have to order a new bike 🙌🙌🙌
yes, very helpful - got my brake working again.
Very well done. Love the many examples and fixes. Quick and to the point. Thanks 4 sharing! Cheers!😎😎😎😎😎😎
This was a helpfull video for my bike brake problems👍
Thanks for this, it gave me the confidence to adjust my 4 year old twins new bikes. The brake levers were so far from the handlebars they can barely reach them, let alone actually brake with them. I've now brought the levers in, reduced the spring tension, and lengthened the brake cables to compensate. Usually you want to tighten brakes :)
I finally fixed my brake... Thanks
In my case one side of the brakes dragged the rim so I went for the spring tension screw adjustment. Later I found out it didn't do anything because the tip of the spring inside the brake was bent out so the screw just slipped away. I took apart of the brake then bent the tip of the spring inward so it can engage with the screw. Now I'm very happy to fix this annoying problem!
When I turn my handle towards the right the front brake starts making contact with the rim, can anyone help me
Thanks for real you help me a lot
So on my bike the rear V-brake is weird, when i turn to the right it brakes and when i turn left is doesnt but the brakes only work when i turn right and i still cannot seem to find the problem
Was just given a bike with problem with front brake. Now I know the noodle was not in the clip. Thank you.
Bike brakes are so fiddly, I'm amazed the design has lasted so long.
Love you my heart thought my trek bike was deady 😭

Thank you sir for teaching me how to adjust the brakes on my mountain bike. You are very helpful. You got to the point right away. Again thank you very much sir 🙏
Hey the video is super helpful but all this things are working to me but the pads don't have enough power to stop the wheel is there any chance you know why?
