Excellent video, so clearly explained! Thank you :)
Hi. Very useful video! Can I ask what kind of this white grease do you use?
Hi i need help for the 105 R7000 calipers don't know how to disassemble thank!
im a bit surprised hat 105 level use bearings
JogBird surprising indeed they do work well without them too I found out as I bought a used bike and undid there are no bearings on them
Good video, but servicing a brand new caliper is very different to servicing an old caliper which has seized nuts and screws.
use loctite ONLY to the lock nut thread.
Not enough info to service Tektro RX40's (edit: sorry I'm frustrated with my situation, the video is appreciated)
Tektro have a different design.
On Tektro brakes before trying to loosen the (main) bolts first you have to unscrew some small screws (2mm Allen/ hex key) that lock down on the main bolts, unlike shimano that uses a nut at the other end to lock'em down.
Then put them all back together again.
I have a pair of Tektro R540's and tried to service them, the bolts were simply too tight/ rusted inside.
In the end i just loosened them, put on some oil and retightened them... just enough so there isn't any play but not so much that the brake parts don't swivel.
The small (locking down) screws should be tight offcourse.
@@tonycaluda1868 Thanks for the response. I couldn't figure out how to disassemble the single pivot one: There's an aluminum washer (or nut?) that has flat sides for a spanner, and a grub screw on one round side. I can't figure out how to remove that from the main bolt. Not sure if it's supposed to spin freely in place as mine does or if it's a stripped nut. With the grub screw removed and using a razor blade as a shim to pry it up as I spin it, it seems to lock in place, and I'm hesitant to apply more force for fear of permanent damage.
Any info you can provide is appreciated... Seeing the ease of service with Shimano parts I'm tempted to scrap these and upgrade.
@@jonathanbraithwaite7063 yeah I don't know about the single pivot ones, I though you had similar to these

If uncertain about your brakes best change them, not worth taking chances with them.
Wtf is this video about, caliper brakes are bomb proof
All mechanical parts need servicing eventually.
I serviced mine 4 or 5 times before it was time for an upgrade.
panzerveps breaks are the part thing you have to service.
jlebrech how are you supposed to service your breaks? I prefer to drink coffee during my breaks.
just buy a new brake caliper if yours isn't expensive?
ΛΞPHAX just change pad every 4-5 years or 8000-15000km
I had some cheap crappy brake pads on my single speed and they were completely worn down after about 7 months so I got some decent ones, not a sign of wear on them yet.
why do you need brakes on a fixie :D
He said single speed, not fixie; they're different. Besides, having brakes on a fixie can help you to deal with descends.
singlespeed is just a 1 gear freewheel so it's not so dangerous in the city. But I live in England so it's illegal to have any less than 2 brakes, fixies here usually have 1 front brake calliper and the fixed part counts as the second brake.
