How to Adjust Your Bike Brakes the Easy Way

Bike brakes not stopping you quickly enough? Give 'em a quick, free, and easy tool-free tuneup with this method. We take all the slack out of the system, then add just enough back in to have you feeling confident and the wheels turning freely. This is easier and faster than some of the other ways of tuning brakes. Take five minutes and you'll feel like you have a whole new bike.

Always test your brakes carefully after adjusting them--if something went wrong, it's better to find that out at slow speed in your driveway than out in the world. As always, there's no warranty here--you're in charge of what you do and what happens.

rare video with great detailed instructions on how to use the barrel adjuster. Only thing I would add. is usually when you change it by alot you almost always have to adjust the calipers on the disc breaks so they don't rub. At least with my cheap pos. lol Thanks for your vid.

It’s always these lower picture quality vids that are the best. Others have so many distractions. All you need is one camera angle and an in depth guidance

Bro you don’t know how happy I am to see that my brakes are finally working again thank you so much

[patrickfeeney]

perfect video with best possible explanation i have been looking for sum like this forever. Also if you have disc brakes n wanna do this try doing everything he says and when he says pinch the pads together, js pull the cord for the brake works great thank u

Wow! Quick and to the point. Worked perfectly. I did have to take up some slack cause my cable had stretched but man did that work amazingly! Did both brakes in about 3 minutes. Thanks for the video. Gonna go check if you have one on straightening a rim.

Only thing is I can't see what you did in the back, what tool etc

Excellent tutorial. I almost rear-ended a car the other day, I did this and the front tire no longer moves when I brake.
Thanks!
