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 KZread ? 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.
Your videos are Outstanding! Very concise, detailed and easy to follow. I cannot thank you enough for what you do.
Thanks brother, been 30 years since I messed with a BMX.

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?
Thanks again. 😊
Amazing
Dude’s gonna crush his knuckles the minute he pulls that lever!
Cheers brother 👍🏼🍻🇬🇧
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.
I dont have a barrell aduster for mine.... Is this essential? Cant get any tension which is probably why

Is it possible to conert from V brakes to U brakes on a bmx?
Hello, what brake and lever do yo recommend to buy?
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?
thx

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.

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.
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

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 😂

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.

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
Why do you not lube the u break post or the brake cable?

3 жыл бұрын
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
I pull the lever and nothing happens I don’t understand everything is connected but my lever does nothing
brakes arent springing back they are staying closed rubbing on wheel
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.
do you think brakeless is better and why?
@thebasementbikeshop2336
4 жыл бұрын
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.
