Brother THANK YOUUUU for this vid! I got my bike brand new and turned it upside down to patch my front tube and flipped it back and had NOO back breaks! They were completely flat! I finally got it fixed! Saved me so much money THANK YOU BROTHER and Blessings to you!
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.
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.
You are helping me fix my life with this info. I'm investing this you are so intelligent! Than you, this will help me get to work and other things thanks. I'm 48 years old. I can do this sh'+. Take care.
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.
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.
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
@@UncleFjester thanks will check them tomorrow. By the way I have enjoyed a lot of your videos. Running with knobbys on the hyper, keep up the good work
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.

I tried all the other bleed methods and this was the easiest and simplest thing to fix my brakes! Thank you!
Glad it helped!

Here is how to make a bike stand for that heavy Piece of 💩

Best bleed video. Finally fixed my soft brake

Thanks! Saved me money avoiding lbs - ezmtb worked great on juiced crosscurrent s
Also used baby oil; big bottle for 5 bucks

You explain things so well. Thank you!
Awesome vids on the e-bike brakes. Best on RUclips !!!!!!
Great, as a old automotive engineer, I have questioned all the "over engineered" kits that's all over the web sites and also RUclips.
He's the King! Of Fix! That already.

Oooohhh shit got your forks🤩👍😍 !!💪💪🔥🔥 can't wait to see them still waiting for mine !
🏆👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 first one to comment on the 🍴🍴 Forks!
@@UncleFjester 😊👍 when is the video going up? Come on Uncle! 😅😅
Where do I get a cup to fit my Tektro reservoir? One came with my kit, but it doesn't fit?
use the little brass adapter between the cup & reservoir
Thanks UF!
hi.. if i have too much travel on the hydraulic brake lever does that mean it needs more fluid or is there another adjustment?

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

@UncleFjester do you have a video on that and I have dyisland hydraulic brake
🤷🏻♂️ ruclips.net/video/RkKw2gjyYcM/видео.html

@@UncleFjester hey cheers.will try a full bleed tomorrow.thanks a million.

@Uncle Fjester Thanks, man, for responding so quickly ✌️
Off topic,have you ever had crunching in the rear wheel,
nope, does it sound like grinding? Prolly wheel bushings. The wheels are poorly designed. did you see this? ruclips.net/video/RCQEXWMmDAw/видео.html
