Super easy and you gave me confidence to take my brakes apart and see if the pads needed to be replaced (they didn't!). As far as the music you have fans and haters and I'll just say that it reminded me of futuristic porno and I had to mute it 😀. Thanks for making this video!
hello, I'm glad you found the video useful. you are looking for novella pads, just check with the seller to be sure. I can't give you a code as such, but just make sure they are compatible with novella.
Your video very carefully and methodically demonstrates how to change the pads, but aren't you taking the long way around? If you remove the wheel, you don't need to disconnect the cable or remove the caliper, which is a much faster process.
Hi Andrew, is there any way to adjust the outboard pad? I've already backed the caliper itself as far outboard as it will go, but the outboard pad still rubs against the disk. I know the inboard one can be adjusted, but I see no adjustment for the outboard.
Predator7 7 the size of the pads correspond to the type of brakes used. usually a friction compound backed by metal. the thicker the braking surface the longer the pads will last. hope this helps.
Just purchased a bike with Tektro Novela disc brakes and wanted to prepare for replacing the pads down the road. I noted that you backed off (untightened) the hex bolt on the inside, but did not re-tighten it. What was the purpose of this. Did it help with pad removal. Also found it interesting like another commentor that magnets hold the pads in place verses a bolt.
I all ways remove the caliper, you need to adjust what ever you do. which ever u think is best, plus if you have no stand, there is no need to risk damaging the derailleur at the rear.
Thanks for the guide! Made me feel like I was breaking into my own house and illegally change my own brake pads.
Thanks , Worked 100%. I didn't realize there were magnets inside ? ! Pads lasted me over 4 years , riding in WINTER .... In CANADA !
Came for knowledge, stayed for music.
The music somehow fits because this is a serious operation nice video.

Nice choice of music. Very zen.

Andrew Stevens Can you give me the exact brake pads like their full name so I can find them on amazon

Just bought a bike with these breaks can I get a part number for the pads?
wow nice vid really helpful
Thanks Andrew Stevens this help me to change the pads
That is the adjustment of the fix brake pad
You can see it at 1.35
thanks ,I save money for my disc brakes
Thank you sir for d tips :)
So why take the brake pads out?
Great Video . Thanks Bro
One question, It might sound silly ,Are Bigger pads better than small pads? by logic I would say yes ,am I right?
Predator7 7 the size of the pads correspond to the type of brakes used. usually a friction compound backed by metal. the thicker the braking surface the longer the pads will last. hope this helps.
Andrew Stevens For example Shimano Deore mechanical vs Avid BB5 (smaller pads) which one stops faster?
mine where held in place by a screw and held apart with a v-clip, are yours magnetic?
Yep these are magnetic
can u plz make a video to change rear disk brakes and to remove rear wheel step by step

Rich K the hex bolt on the inside controls how close the pads are to the rotor. This can be used to sharpen the breaks.
Thanks for responding and thank you for the video. It is very helpful.
yes he did. this is the retightening. 5:02
Plague Inc. music right?
sounds like some kind of horror movie
Nice vid . I 'd like to order a couple of pairs for my Giant roam 3 . Do you know any product nymber or a shimano compatible set ? Thanks
What was the final adjustment he did with the Allen’ key on the derailleur side ?
Adjusting the brake pad
andrew one of my pads the ceramic has came off the metal part can this be fixed in any way ??
Thanks dude
So is there no spring and connecting rod between the two pads? Or did I miss it... tia
FrnchDp no spring on these m8!
Cheers! they came with the bike, and I've had to look em up. thanks for the video - I'll be looking to tear into mine as they are squeaking badly!
Who knows where to get the caliper spring? It snapped in half, tektro novela mech 180, no similar used parts around.
Music was like horror movie
I all ways remove the caliper, you need to adjust what ever you do. which ever u think is best, plus if you have no stand, there is no need to risk damaging the derailleur at the rear.
:) Yes but you can put your bike upside-down.
Hi! can i invert my pads in with out? tank you!
great tutorial, creepy song
Thank You..!!
🙏👍🏻

Anyone know what the torque specs are on the rotor is?
just make sure that they are tight. 5 - 7nm should do it.
Track ID please 😆
Tonight on unsolved mysteries....
Bring back brake blocks, saves all that messing about and costs a fraction of the price. Cyclists have been conned with these.
the pads are worth more than those crappy brakes..lol
It’d be more instructional if you were instructing instead playing music.
Have you eyes?
