Thank you, this is the first video that made sense and was easy to follow. Saved me time and money at a bike shop. Thanks!!
I'm super glad it helped Thanks for checking it out. :)
Best explanation of how to adjust disc brakes I have seen, in all the videos I have watched… and I watched a lot!
Thanks a bunch for taking the time and commenting and the kind words:):) 🙂
👍 love how helpful these videos are
Thanks for watching and the feedback. Glad it helps:)
Hey that was perfect, especially the centering of the disc. When I watch the bike shop pro types they don't or can't just show the simple mechanics of brakes like these and I know the more I mess with them the worse they get... until now, thank you sir.
That's great.... So glad it.helped :)
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
thank you!!!!!! I looked at so many videos but they were either not what i was looking for or not explained well. this is amazing and helped me, thanks!!!!

Thanks for your help,just got my new P6 and my brakes were all funky.
Glad it helped and thanks for taking the time to comment.
That's the same bike I have ! I've been having major issues with my brakes since I got it 3 months ago. Already had the bike shop fix them 3 times and they still keep coming loose . I've tried doing everything they showed me at the shop as well as every video on RUclips and I still can't figure it out . I followed this video to a T and still can't get my back brake to work .
@@JordanBeachBodycoach I got a P6 too and my brakes are really bad, that's the weakness of our bikes, i'm trying to adjust mine as well and having an hard time. The best thing to do is to change the brakes setup completly for an hydrolic brake system before we die on this thing haha
Thanks for the tips.... I needed that
I'm glad it helped. :) Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Well done! This helped so much!!

Thank you glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to comment.
This was super informative, I been struggling with my brakes alot, I got charged a mini fortune last time I took it to a shop so would like to learn how to do it, I take my 2 and 4 year olds to nursery on my EBike so its important my brakes are perfect at all times, great video, thank you.
Thank you, hopefully this has helped you out. Thanks for watching. :)
@@mikerochester Yes I was out there straight after watching this to try sort my brakes out, I have a 'Bronx Buggy', I managed to do the Front brakes and grips ok, but the back proved to be bit more challenging, its better than what it was... but its not as great as the front.
@@BMTVMeditationandSleep When they still give me a hard time there is a little tool I use that keeps the breaks sentered. I believe it was less then $10 on Amazon.
Also hope you had a chance to subscribe ')
thank you, just fixed my brakes!
That's awesome thank you
I definitely will try Step 2, because my brakes are very loose, so when I go a bit too fast and I need to brake on time, it won't, I need like 10 seconds and it's not handy. So I will try this tomorrow!, This is a very helpful information.
No problem hope it works.
Please share your results.
Just got a new ebike and noticed the brakes are abit off, i'm kinda new to this so your video was really helpful. Greetings all the way from Sweden!
I'm very glad the video helped.
Sweden is some distance away:):) thanks a bunch for taking the time to comment and I'm sure you're going to get a ton of enjoyment from an e-bike
Just bought an ebike from Amazon and when I put the front wheel on, I get significant rub on the disc... I am going to try this. Thank you!
No problem, thanks for taking the time to comment.
I had the same problem
New Edikani ebike front brakes squealing. Caliper misaligned followed your video and all is well. Checked the back which were good Thanks
That's great news, I'm glad it helped thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for this great video. I only had one question. Is this the same for the Himiway Escape Pro? Can you please advise I'd appreciate it immensely thank you for your time!!!
Sorry I'm not familiar with the escape pro but should be in line with most mechanical disc brakes. :):)
Hello, very helpful video. How do I do this for the rear brakes please ?
You could use a bungee or some kind of clamp to hold the breakdown
2:00 key piece of info! "unloosen those bolts then squeeze hand brake to re center brakes."
Not sure I understand your question. I do walk whole through in the video.
@@mikerochester sorry, I mean this part of the video was a key pice of info and was very helpful to me
Like how you made how easy it is to do fixing to try it myself I'll let you know how it went
Awesome keep me posted.
Wonderful tutorial, very helpful and just what I needed - thanks my man!! 👏🏻👊🏻
I'm glad it helped. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback:)
@@mikerochester I very much felt the obligation, seeing as how you helped me fix my bike! 😁 I've dreaded this for two weeks now thinking that it was gonna be hard to get it right and take time. But following along your video was super easy and quick! 😄
@@ConraDargo That's awesome... Thanks again.:):)
Thanks you, Fixed my front brake bunt does this also work on the back brake? You might take long to respond, so I’m just going to try it!
This works with mechanical brakes front or rear. :)
Do you have one of these for the Rattan 750 pro? Or is it pretty much the same?
I do not many mechanical disc brakes should be similar.
I have mechanical disc brakes on my e-bike. When I apply a constant force on the levers to stop the bike normally, the actual stopping force oscillates between hard and soft braking. My bike is brand new is this expected? Should I just wait for the problem to go away or is there something I can do about it?
New brakes normally need to be bedded in. I would just make sure that you're brake calipers are tightened down and that your rotors are not bent. More than that I would check with the local bike shop.
sometimes my rear brake makes a click sound when i pull down on it and after the brake completely stops working and i have to adjust it again. do you know any way to fix this issue?
Wonder if your screw is stripped or coming loose somehow not really sure what's going on there probably best bet to take it into a bike shop in your area.
Is this method safe for my brakes? Because I'm worried that the cable would snap if tightened too much.
I would recommend you go to a bike shop and seek the help of a professional then.
I’ve tried this several times and it’s not tightened.
I'm not sure I understand what's not working for you. You may need help from a bike shop.
my left brake not working at all now when i try do this :(
Must be something else going on with it. I would check with a bike shop.
will this stop the squeaking sound?
If the brakes are rubbing on the brake pads this should realign them. Squeaking sound can be coming from other stuff as well including oils on the rotor.
I've tried everything in every video and nothing works . My bike is still brand new . The back breaks just constantly give out and I can't figure out how to get em tight
I would recommend having your local bike shop check them out.
FYI You didn't put barrel connectors back to starting point. That's just the lock nut. You have to screw the ENTIRE (lock nut and barrel) all the way into the lever housing to add back all the slack removed over time with adjustment. The lock nut should ALWAYS be tight, regardless of where the barrel is, to keep it from moving unintentionally. Good video otherwise, but you definitely need to completely remove the barrel slack BEFORE pulling more cable through else you wont have any adjustment room in the field.
