Common V-Brake Problems and Solutions

    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)

    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?

    What do you think causes a slow or weak release? Brake spring in highest tension and cable is free

    • @ndpinney
      @ndpinney 9 часов назад

      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?

    • @ndpinney
      @ndpinney 9 часов назад

      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.

    Do disk brakes need less or more maintenance than V brakes? Are adjustments on disk brakes just as "easy" as V brakes? Thanks

    Wooden floor is very distractive. Or else place cycle in such position that lines of wooden floor bring attention in not out.

    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 :)

  • @yeong126
    @yeong126 7 месяцев назад

    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!
