Thank you for this video. Very easy step by step instructions. Watched it once and was able to install my break pads on my rear break successfully in under 5 mins. Thank you
Some don't have the screw anymore. You just straighten the clip out, and pull out. Then to put back in, you push pin in and bend it at the end (to keep it from coming out). The screw method looks better, but you got to work with what they give you.
So is it like a car where ill be replacing the fronts more than the back? Of course i know it also depends on how the person brakes but just on an average.
Global Cycling Network I noticed that my brakes started rubbing the other day. Could pushing my pistons back in solve this issue? The brakes are pretty old, I think this may be the issue.
Agree. But you generally reset pistons with the old pads still in the caliper. This prevents you damaging the piston surfaces. Once pistons are reset then remove old pads.
Will new pads grind a bit before they have worn in? I did the whole, pull the brake and then tighten down the caliper, but there is still a bit of light grinding noise. I assume it will go away after a few hard braking sessions.
they said in another video that you can go to a controlled and safe environment, and accelerate and brake there. the temperature of the disc should burn the oil.
Completely pointless video anyone knows this part what to do when pads are stuck together and can’t get disc in between them these are problems we people have
A poor example of youtube tutorial. Why the background music? If I want music, I turn on my radio. The video cuts missed out important detail. Won't be subscribing.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I just replaced my first sets of disc pads thanks to you
Thanks!!! Pushing the pistons back saved me from taking my bike to the shop. I used channel locks though. Worked great!!!
perfect video, just what I needed.
Just changede my disc pads, went smooth :)
3:03 Old school CGN, letting typos through in their overlays. :D
blowtorch worked like a fuckin charm
For such a simple machine.. they don't half make things complicated.. thanks for making it easy
Glad it helped
Saint brakes on GCN. I did not see that coming
I love your Monday Maintenance series! Detailled and easy to understand, and it's in HD!
It's easier to look at the little details.

Your video made the task easy. Thank you.
The good old days when you had to tell people subscribing was free.
Cheers GCN this helped me a lot, new Nukeproof pads are now fitted :-)
That bike is a beauty!
Good stuff. thanks!!

How can you tell when to change your disc brakes?
thanks man great video!!!
thank you for the vid! helped alot.
This was really helpful. Thanks!
worked for me, thanks!
How the hell did the "push the pistons in" stage come before the "remove the old pads stage" lmao
Cheers! This was very helpful!
Thank you
Thank you !
Thanks, really clear
Nice Video..right on
Please mention the model and manufacturer of that BIG BEAST.
the pistons can come out be very careful. bedding safer to change 1 set at a time and then bed them in . then do the next set
How do can't really identify parts on the contraption from the video. Would help to describe the various
Wow, over 6 years old!
Hlooo. Can you tell me rhe cycle detail you have. I loved it i want too buy the same
what are the differences, to pay attention to, between the bike fit on your race-bike and your MTB?
Good
Which model is this cycle
Hi i change my brake pad to my bike.but when i brake does not stop properly
I have a cycle tata stryder nexxus and i want to replace disc brake pads which one will be teh best one to repalce if any company
What do you call the bolt that secures the brake pads?
I use shimano xt for downhill
I bought a mountain bike and i rode it for the first time and the brake are bad should i return it or fix it?
Make a line in the middle like car brake pad
So is it like a car where ill be replacing the fronts more than the back? Of course i know it also depends on how the person brakes but just on an average.
can i upgrade my front disc (160) to 180 mm ?
and my front rotor is half rubbing so i am not getting full braking power..reply please..
Dhiren Patel new pads!
Music is distracting, FYI GCN.
I need a video with other type shimano disc brakes. This isn't helping me one bit.
My pistons wont come back out? What do i do?
My pistons wont move back. How do i fix this?
Hi Bruce, do you mean they won't move back into the body of the caliper? You might have to use a large flat-headed screwdriver to lever them back in.
I did it thanks! Great video.

HeSaidWhatToWho wheel might not be true
Are you Peter crouch’s brother
Just wondering what size a new disc pad should be? 2mm 2.5mm, 3 mm ? any offers
If you run a certain type or brand of caliper, say Shimano XT or Ultegra, a new pad will have a standard size. Just like with a car.
I’ve seen on another video the new pads measured with a micrometer 4.0mm and shimano manual specifies replacement at 0.5mm not 1.5mm. So I’m told.
New to biking. Can I change my open brake pad-rim brakes to disk brakes? Or are disk brakes bike specific?
They're bike specific
+George Brailsford (AandEI) Disc brakes are both bike frame/fork specific and wheel specific.
Daheck thise levers are M135!!
please add in the bedding in process for newbies!
my new brake system is making a noise when i brake. I tried cleaning the rotors but after 30 minutes the noise comes back.
JP If you have avids, switch to shimano haha
i remember when i my bike use to fo that, it stopped after maby because i started using it...
Umm, isn't their step-by-step out of order? Remove the pads is 2, then push pistons back is 3?
Agree. But you generally reset pistons with the old pads still in the caliper. This prevents you damaging the piston surfaces. Once pistons are reset then remove old pads.
Are you a secret mountain biker loydy
Will new pads grind a bit before they have worn in? I did the whole, pull the brake and then tighten down the caliper, but there is still a bit of light grinding noise. I assume it will go away after a few hard braking sessions.
Adam W it will go away. if not, loosen the caliper bolts, press brake and tighten the caliper back to recommended torque
Why do you need to take the wheels off why can’t you just take the caliber off??
I mistakenly put oil in brake. Disc now the brake is creating crazy sound , how can i fix it without anything replacement or without opening any part?
they said in another video that you can go to a controlled and safe environment, and accelerate and brake there. the temperature of the disc should burn the oil.
How to Eat While Riding
Just get good ;)
Ditch the music
I can't understand why the designs need the WHEELS to come off. That is nightmare job with a Gates Belt drive and an internal gear hub.
I agree, is there a reason why you can't simply take the caliper off, change the pads, put the caliper back on and realign?
Could you please do a video on how to restrict gears for underage racing :) thanks
A 30 second ad that is not skippable?
Pass and a big thumbs down
