My mission is to keep more bicycle riders in the sport.
Whether you can't afford to take it to a shop,
you don't have a way to transport it to the shop,
you don't have time to take it in for repairs,
or you just want to learn to fix, repair, and upgrade your own bike,
I will help to keep your bike running smooth and you riding longer.

Hell, what is this doing on RUclips ? No crappy music and flashing god-knows-what ... Yes, i am old . Such a clear calm and straight forward lesson. god bless you. Oh yeah, I repaired and built bikes for 8 years as a professional ... 30 years ago.
Tried adjusting my brakes for years and thought they were crap. Watched this and now they work perfectly. So thank you very much.
Came for the how-to, stayed for the chill beats.
Thanks brother, been 30 years since I messed with a BMX.
You’re welcome! Glad I could help!
Your videos are Outstanding! Very concise, detailed and easy to follow. I cannot thank you enough for what you do.
Trying to fix my bmx after 10 years wish me luck
Did you do it
Update
Same! Best of luck brother, respraying is the hardest bit!
About to put a tektro fx340 rear u-brake on my 2018 Redline Asset👌. Thx for the vid
really helped me to finally sort my brakes out - thank you!
You're welcome. Glad i could help.
Gonna try in the morning thanks man
thanks for the tutorial! really helpful
Just came across your Channel would love to see how to adjust these breaks I'm a total noob I have Odyssey Springfield's I think they are the same ones I bought a Sunday high c came with it already installed just need to adjust where the pads go and the pull
Great, thorough explanation; feels like we're in the shop, with ya.
Thank you
I seem to be having problems with my Odyssey Evo 2.5 brake and wondered if you could help me/or experienced something similar before. The brake arms are rubbing against each other which creates a horrible grinding feeling. Both brake mount tightened down fully as well as the actual brake itself.
Awesome Tatorial, I've been trying to adjust my breaks & could get them just like I like them. Thanks 👍
I'm glad I could help.

Brilliant how to...Thanks Lee uk...
I dont have a barrell aduster for mine....
Is this essential? Cant get any tension which is probably why
Question.
My bike Cult devotion 2020 model.
The wheels are 2.5" width.
When I got the bike it was brakeless, but since I just can't ride in my city without a brake, I wanted to put brakes on it.
On the first go, It seemed that the brakes touch the wheel.. Everything is standard and made for the bike.. So does anyone know?
Dude’s gonna crush his knuckles the minute he pulls that lever!
Best video and speaking quality I have ever seen!
Thank you! And thanks for watching
Saved me buddy thanks
Thanks again. 😊
Cheers brother 👍🏼🍻🇬🇧
Is it possible my brakes just dont fit been trying for hours but it seems the brake arms constantly are pressing against the wheel
I have a cult pigot with the 990s on the lower chain stay. And i use kink desist brakes
Yes, Does your factory brake mount kit have brake post that thread into the frame or does it sit on with really long bolts that slide through the brake post?
Amazing
Thank great video helped a lot
You’re welcome! Glad I could help
Will this work for a subrosa slayer?
Is it possible to conert from V brakes to U brakes on a bmx?
hi 👋 I just got a used bike for my son and the u break is not working because the u break is missing a piece.its a BMX bike and I'm not sure what u break brand is good enough for this bike.if anyone could help will be great .thanks in advance.
Спасибо,братишка!очень помог!
пожалуйста, спасибо за просмотр моего видео
Hello, what brake and lever do yo recommend to buy?
thx
What is the bmx frame name
Just got a new frame. I have threaded holes at the very back for brakes to go onto but I do not have a hole under the top tube for the wire guides? Any ideas?
I would just use black zip ties. Is there at least a cable housing stop by the seat post?
Awesome video MAHALO N ALOHABLESSING 👌
Thank you!
Rebuilding a GT Fly for my nephews. The brakes are on the lower bars, still use a U brakes kit? I'm old, my last bike was a Diamondback Cool Streak, so this newer stuff has me searching. Yes I still have it, and plan to rebuild it next.
Yes, it should still use a u brake if i understand what you are talking about correctly.
my mounts are on the top side of the rear fork also my guides on the bottom side of the top tube neither are threaded. Will this still mount on my bike?? It is a redline frame from around 2005
As long as your mounts are ubrake mounts and not canti/Vbrake mounts. The best way to tell is ubrake mounts will line up more with your tire.. V brake mounts will line up with your spokes.
Awesome help video, well done man! Haven’t installed u-brakes all these years. Seat question: which seat is on this bike? Looking for a good one like that.
Thanks Dan! this is the stock seat that came on the 2017 WTP Trust and is listed as -WETHEPEOPLE “Trust” thick padded pivotal seat.
I hope that helps!

@@thebasementbikeshop2336 Thanks Rob, I appreciate the reply!
Do you have a link for the I brake mounts to purchase? Ive been looking for some cheap ones for a project im working on
You probably want the the brake mounts made for your frame from that manufacturer. What kind of frame is it?
Just lost a brake mount tonight. Flying down road in the dark, I thought my cable had snapped, turned out that one lug came loose, I heard it hit the ground but couldn't find it in the dark 💀 I'm not sure which brake mount it is, wether it's bolt through or thread in type. I will pull the one off tomorrow to figure it out.
I only just got my Ubrake working perfect with a Vbrake style conversion, removing the straddle gubbins completely and just using a Vbrake noodle on the end of cable direct to the brake. So much better! Well it was till it fell apart 😂
What size of nut
Hey ! is it normal my brake caliper could touch my rear tire ? never set up brake (before brakeless) and i've doubts... eventjouhi've changed my rear tire (before 2.40 and now 2.125 and always same thing... it's only setting or problem ? tanks ;) nice video ;) useful
It depends on the brakes caliper. I run a 2.3 tire in the back and my salt calipers don't hit my tire. What kind of brakes are you running? You may need different ones.
@@thebasementbikeshop2336 My rear brake caliper is Salt Echo chrome. I use 2.125 tire. I try to move spacers at first. I f I add 1 chain link my wheel is almost out of axe of frame :/
Doesn't seem to enough room on mine my brake arms touching the tyre
You kind of sound like Garfield 😂, but great vid
can you use MTB levers for ubrakes of BMX?
Yes. Just not the other way around.
Is that bike a fitbike
Anyone know where I can get this kit or one like it? Thanks.

My bike has no brake mounts is there a way I can still install brakes
Fishheadmandible thank you but my frame Fitbikeco is like 3 years old and had no mount or hole at all but I think I’m liking brakeless better so that’s good thanks for the help
I just bought a brand new mongoose and there are no springs whatsoever in the rear breaks. I pull the brake lever and they just stay there. It's driving me insane.
I pull the lever and nothing happens I don’t understand everything is connected but my lever does nothing
Why do you not lube the u break post or the brake cable?
I do lube my post. I thought i showed that. I must not have. I would like to redo my all my videos now that i see all the comments of things i missed. I don't lube my cable anymore. I buy coated cable and run em. I've found when i lubed my cables, they pulled great at first but the lube collects dirt and i have problems much sooner than i did when i didn't lube them at all. Thanks for the input
It’s the break Sharp
Where can I get brakes for a bike 20x2.0
Almost all bmx brakes made now should fit over a 2.0. The problem is finding brakes to fit over a 2.2 or a 2.3. I run a 2.2 rear tire and the salt brakes fit over it easily
do you think brakeless is better and why?
I do not think brakeless is better. I think people that ride brakeless are better and i have a lot of respect for them. I have always run brakes. I believe it's safer when learning tricks or dealing with traffic on the road or in a skatepark. I think, even if you want to learn tricks without using brakes, you should still have brakes on your bike.
@Chad Kunka yes. I should do a front brake install video.
I have same bike where do I get this break kit?
It is the stock brake that came on it listed as a SALT "Moto XL" alloy u-brake rear.
@@thebasementbikeshop2336 thank you, place I got it stripped the breaks so I've been wanting to put the stock breaks on.
Is that A mutinyy comb frame?
We the people trust
Ah i see i got a comb frame bout the same setup 🤔
Hey bro can you send me the link for Springfield
Sure. Here is the link to the Springfield installation video- ruclips.net/video/foT61K0pBHs/видео.html
I found it bro do I need the tensioner in the middle of the frame my Springfields never came with one ?
@@kanekrishna3375 if you are referring to the spring between the brake arms, yes you need it. It should have come with it. Contact the company if you didn't get it with the brakes.
The adjustment barrel bro
@@kanekrishna3375 you wouldn't need it if you have a cable housing stop on the frame. You just have to be more precise with your adjustment. Otherwise you can pick up one at any bike shop or online cheap.
brakes arent springing back they are staying closed rubbing on wheel
