    Hey Park Tools - Calvin Jones is fantastic! Calvin spends time explaining exactly what to look for, how to do it right, all in simple easy to understand language with great demonstrations, and/or animations. Please give him a raise or bonus. After watching him, I want to do more work on my bike and I will need more Park Tools!!

    It was Campagnolo that reintroduced side pull brakes in '68. When Merckx won the Tour in 69 with these brakes, everybody started to use them.
    In the 60's almost everybody used center pull brakes.

    I just started a job where I assemble stuff and the main thing is bicycles. I'm working through a 2 month back log of bikes so at least 1 out of 4 are damaged. Bent rim here, bent forks there, missing parts, heck, I had the forks fall right out of a bike today, bearings and seals all over. Found a manufacturing error on an EZ bike, the pin hole was way below the pin where the forks and handlebars meet, so the unit would not stay together and there was a shallow cut below that. The machine must have been wigging out that day.
    Adjusting brakes is a pain and I will be watching this video many times!

  • @harringta
    @harringta 10 месяцев назад

    Great video to explain most possible issues and solutions for side-pull brake calipers. Only feedback is on brake pads "don't need to touch exactly at same time", if the contact is only partially out of timing with light pressure it is probably ok, but with more adequate pressure it is still off time, I find the pads wear unevenly. So, if arms have been centred as much as possible, once pad-wear becomes visibly different, I rotate the pads to opposite sides.
    Lastly, I wish my bicycle and hands remained this clean during maintenance! Mine are always blackened 🙈

    I have never been good at getting these types of brakes adjusted (didn't have youtube back when I was trying though). This video made it crystal clear. Well done! I bought my daughter (7 years old) a drift trike. Since adjusting the brake, I am leaning to replacing it totally. The pads have no cams and the brake lever is rather flimsy and far from the grip. I'd have gladly paid an additional $50 or so for the trike with a better brake.
