Yes. Online like youtube video 🤣

This was so helpful. Just bought a set of SLX brakes but the website didn't say they weren't fully assembled. I've done bleeds before, but never installed hoses before, so hopefully your video will help me to minimize my screw-ups when installing! Thank you!

Perfect video, wish KZread was more like this! No BS, clear and instructive - Well done!

Nicely done, thorough without all the extra Jibber-jabber....Thanks! I constructed my first replacement front brake line yesterday with one of those barb presses. Handy to have and cheap!

Dude, this is very detailed and just what I needed to know. Thank you so much.

One of the best videos i've seen to show how this is done correctly.

Good video. Nice to get a refresher on these kinds of maintenance tasks.

I've watched tons of how to vids on KZread, on dozens of topics. That was as good as I've seen. Great job, keep it up.

Great video, super clear instructions hitting every important point. Thanks!

Love how easy Shimano make this stuff! I really think I can do a full oil change in about the same time it took me to swap a brake cable. Now if I‘d only had this nice video back when I started… 😉

This is the best video I’ve seen in this by far man! Thank you

Thanks so much man, appreciate the procedural walk-through and respect your attention to detail!

very complete and easy to understand HOW TO, thank you

Was looking for a tutorial, what a great surprise to see your channel!

That was succinct. Good job!

One of the best “easy to follow” new brake installation videos. That dedicated brake line cutting tool and barb tool is really nice!

This was a huge help. Thanks for making the vid 🤟🤙

4:15 Thanks for that…I swore it opened all the way but couldn’t figure it out.

Nice job on this! Well done video

Very good thanks for saving me a trip to the workshop

Excellent tutorial.Thanks a lot.

Great vid! Just what I needed, have a friend that needs this work done and you made it look easy peezy!

Nice! These have reach adjustment as well. Only difference is XT has a free stroke adjust as well, but I’ve heard it doesn’t work too well, I opted to try SLX

@@TheBikeSauce Engineering-wise, the master cylinders are identical to XT. Take out the blank cap with a pair of circlip pliers and put a screw in there. I put gold ones in mine because it looks awesome, and if you don't like it, you're wrong. Can't remember the thread size sorry. Don't know how well they work, I just like how they look.

Wondering why you have to take out the olive? Is this step in the manual? Thanks for the decent, easy to follow video. I have to finish the same brakes the next days. Hope it will go as smoothly as in your video 😊

i hope someone can notice but the banjo bolt in the caliper. can you reposition it to other side?

How about better way to bleed tektro 4 pistons using by Siskiu T8... Mine very spongy on the lever... Thanks for your reply soon😊

thanx!

Why not use the same brake hoses?

For the bleed is better remove brake pads and push the piston back , insert che the bleed block to lock the pistons. Connect the Shimano funnel with oil and press lever . When you don't see air bubble , remove the funnel with oil , remove the bleed block , reinstall the brake pads and done.

Yeah the "bleeding" he does isn't bleeding at all actually ....

Great attention to detail! You presented this very well.

Does the cable come with oil in it too then?

The 2mm thickness of the SRAM rotor works with the Shimano caliper?

Happy new bike day! They set the lever position in or out (it’s called ‘reach adjustment’). There’s no right or wrong position; set it where it feels comfortable and where the lever isn’t pulling all the way to the handlebars

You mentioned being able to use the preinstalled barb on the new hose if you don't want to shorten the line. I noticed the barb has a film over the end to keep the fluid in. Does this film need to be removed first?

totally wrong dude, You don't need to remove the bolt or olive from the lever, they are left in there intentionally and the cable just sits directly in (after cutting). The other error is the cable is not prefitted with a barb. The thing that's in the cable is a plug simply to stop the mineral oil leaking and this must be removed before attaching to the lever. On the cable just below the sealing plug is a small marking which indicates the minimum amount of cable that MUST BE REMOVED before inserting the supplied barb

@TheBikeSauce

😆 removing the olive and nut is a personal preference to make sure the barbed hose sits fully in the lever. Neither correct nor incorrect. Of course the cap on the uncut hose isn’t a barb; we ended up shortening the hose anyway. Why are you an angry biker? Bikes are supposed to be fun 😀

Great, detailed explanation, thanks! The "olive" is called a ferrule. I turn my bike upside down and pump the brakes too. This is why I take mine to the bike shop... so I don't have to buy $100 in tools to do a $20 job 🙂
