This was the first video I clicked on to see how to tighten my brakes and because of how good your video is it’s the only one I needed to watch👍

Thanks Frank you cut right to the chase and you went quick yet you explained things in a perspective to where even dummies like me fully understand things. When you explained about the brake lever wouldn't work if you don't have the brakes adjusted just right for the power to shut off from the motor to let the brakes work proper. Whew! You know what I mean. You explained that part very thoroughly to where it made me a believer to subscribe to your channel. Looking forward to the next video.

Sounds like the brakes are adjusted too tightly so it’s rubbing against the rotor. Since the bike is brand new I would contact the manufacture. You can try my steps in my video if you feel comfortable doing so. Good luck!

Thank so much🎉. This really did help but as weak as I am, I'm ok with just having to lug around tools with me.

So I just got a bee cool explored bike. Had a bunch of trouble because although the calipers were installed at the factory, the cable for the front one was routed incorrectly and was binding up so I couldn’t put the handle bars on cuz there wasn’t enough slack on the cables. On top of that the caliper was attached backwards so no way it would go over the rotor. I got all that resolved but now when I move the bike the brakes are dragging. Bee cool have hydraulic brakes and I only see one nut where you show two. Any ideas on how I can adjust them so they don’t drag or is that normal with brand new bikes?

@FrankiesWorld

2 жыл бұрын

No they shouldn’t drag. I hate it when bikes come messed up from the factory. Sometimes when that happens they will give you money for the costs of what it cost at the shop for repair since it’s not your fault it shipped that way. In your case it sounds like the pads need to be adjusted inside the caliper. If loosening the cable doesn’t stop the pads from dragging then it probably requires a pad adjustment. Sometimes it’s better to take it to a shop when it gets complicated. I did the same for my cable replacement.

Perfect thanks

What's up Frankie. Great video brother. Quick question for you: I just changed the brake pads on my rear tire because I felt like the brakes were sticking a bit. When I looked at the pads that I removed they weren't as worn as I thought they would be. I still replaced them though. I took the bike out for a spin to try out the new brake pads and although they brake quickly, they make a grinding noise and I still feel them sticking. What kind of adjustment do you think I need to make? Thanks in advance bro

Thanks for watching! I’m wondering if your rear caliper may be going out? Check out my other video on break adjustment part II. This way you can do a full adjust and see if the problem still happens. Also for the grinding noise, did you replace the pads with metallic ones? Sometimes it’s worth replacing the rotors as well with better ones that can handle metallic pads.

So basically once you pull out more it should tighten correct?

That's for informative vid and can you tell me is there a bug difference between disc vs hydraulic brakes? Like I think I want to replace with hydraulic

@FrankiesWorld

14 күн бұрын

When you adjust one cable lever it adjusts one brake caliper. The front and rear have independent cables that's why only one adjusts. This video is for mechanical brakes only, hydraulic is more complex. If the pads are worn to almost metal, time to replace the pads. I have another video on my channel that shows the full brake adjustment if you have to adjust from the caliper which you will have to do once you cant adjust from the handlebar lever anymore.

I have the same calipers hb100, but even if its so tight it doesn’t work at all, I guess I should refresh the oil in it but idk how. Can you help me with it

So tbh, since it’s been a while since I’ve posted this, these brake calipers are a hit and miss. My back one stopped working 6 mo later then the front a few mo later. I replaced the back with the stock one, and ordered a new hydraulic one for the front similar to the one you see on the video and it’s been fine. I think going full hydraulic is the key.

My brakes feel tight but won't actually grab, I think I accidentally tightened the cable without adjusting the calipers. Is that normal? And is there a way to see if my calipers need to be replaced or I just made a mistake without taking everything apart? This is my first ebike, I bought it non-functional from the garbage and rebuilt it myself, but brakes are serious and I'm not a pro

It’s possible it may be the calipers. If it were me I would start over and adjust from both the top and by the caliper again. When squeezing the levers you should see the caliper move in freely. Check this video out on full adjustment to see if it works kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4Jsw8qScsTapps.htmlsi=Sm4kdof96_C0_3Wg

will this help if I losses them instead of tightening if my brakes are rubbing without any input on the brake lever?

Yes, try loosening from the handle grip part first. If that does not help start to loosen from the adjustment at the caliper. As you loosen it you should see the pads slowly move apart from the rotor.

You can physically pull the brake line and then retighten, slowly adjusting the top. In time these cables will stretch.

What happens if you pull it out too far? Mine seem to be as far out as they can go to where I'm not sure if it's safe, and it's only barely catching resistance near the handle (haven't gotten the finger length, maybe about half a finger length)

Once you get to the point to where you know you can’t pull out anymore you have to adjust from the brake caliper. I have other videos on adjusting the brake caliper. Turn the adjuster on the lever so it’s all the way In. Cable will get loose. Then adjust from the caliper end. You will have to physically pull the cable till it’s tight, then you can readjust. If you watch my other brake videos with the caliper adjustment this will make more sense.

@@FrankiesWorld Kewl ! I'm upgrading my stock "Logan" 2 piston Hyd brake sys on my new Juiced RipCurrent S to Tektro's HD-E725 4 piston design, so I'm watching every YT vid I can find on the subject first. Not afraid to "dig in" to Bike Repairs/Mods but I like to see what methods work, or don't work for others who've done it before. My first E-bike had Tektro HD-E350 2 piston brakes w/ 180mm rotors. When the first set of Rotors reached their wear limits, I went to 203mm Rotors w/ pretty good results. "Range Anxiety" . . . like it! It says a Lot ! It's one reason I chose the Juiced Brand was because of the Crazy Long Range advertised when I bought my first 750w RCS in 2019. They claimed a 100+ mile range back then but have backed that down to 75+ miles for the New 1000w RCS. Realistically the Actual Range is much less because their advertised ratings are done in PAS level "Eco" (the lowest of 6 PAS setting) with a tailwind on a level paved road/trail. Realistically, most my time is spent in PAS Lvl 2 & 3 w/ minimal time in 5 & 6 for passing or long hills, which puts my Pratical Range around 50+ miles. Even More to the point, I've totaled over 16K miles on my riding app's in 3 riding seasons but have NEVER ridden more than 25 miles in a single outing. Most of my rides are around 23 miles ea. A rating of 40+ miles for an E-bike should be Plenty sufficient for 98% of most folks riding habits. The ride turns into work instead of fun exercise when you try to go beyond 90 min or 24 miles for a given ride imho, unless you've got a Really good fitting seat and even then 30 miles+ would be a challenge. I live on the Washington side of the Columbia River but do the better portion of my riding on the Portland Or side because of the extensive bike friendly trails & roads. When I first started riding E-bikes in 2019, maybe 3 out of 50 bikes on the trails/roads were E-bikes. Last season that number went up to over 20 out of 50 being E-bike's. The market has Exploded along w/ brand options. Personally, I'd advise going w/ an E-bike manufacturer that has a Tech, Parts and a Cust Svc Dept devoted to each, or get a bike that uses Lots of aftermarket components vs proprietary "one off" components. Bikes are Maintenance Hogs and WILL req service soon unless you're Very Diligent w/ preventative maint.
