This may be one of the most carefully-thought-out how-to videos I've ever seen. Beautifully crafted and clearly presented. Hats off to you!

I was just about to bring my Zizzo mini to the local Bike Barn to adjust the front brakes then I stumbled into this instructional video . 10 minutes later, I successfully fixed the brakes. You just helped me save some time and $ . Thank You !

This the fourth time I have successfully used this video to adjust the brakes of various bikes. Thank you so much for the easy to follow instructions

Excellent video. Thank you.

Most bike videos rush past the things that they think are obvious, but as a beginner I need every last little detail explained. And really slowly.
You did this perfectly.
And the close ups were especially important for helping the understanding.

Thank you! As a recently single mom, I've never tried fixing the bikes before, but my son's front brakes weren't working at all. Fifteen minutes later and- ka-pow! Score one for the dad-mom. It was fun, I kind of want to take out all the bikes now and check their brakes. By now I mean later.

I never knew how to equally space the two pads and how this is crystal clear to me! Thanks for the upload!

Thanks for this video! My kid's brakes were broken and I was able to fix them myself by watching this video!

[dougmoring]

Best bike video I've seen. You went slowly and I could see everything you did. Thanks.

[ronpekrul]

Great video. The brake pads were rubbing on the wheel rim, and the small adjustment that was described on the NorthrockBikes video worked! Great overall video, showing other bike adjustments that I thought were valuable. Great job !!

[ernestdedes]

This was a very good video. It explains in very graphic detail as to how to adjust linear brakes:better than most videos.
