Disc brake powerful,crisp braking - Easy to do

[AreaCode]

I’ve watched a tonne of these videos and bleed brakes about a dozen times at least, but this is hands down the best video I’ve seen for adjustment! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, it’s really appreciated

Best video I've seen on this process on the whole of YouTube!

After watching probably 20-30 other "fix squishy brakes" videos, full caliper and piston decontaminated and lubricated, and 2 full bleeds I stumbled onto this video. The segment of the video from 7m45sec was EXACTLY what I needed to finally dial in my rear brake lever. Such a simple thing and I'm glad it was the actual solution and not some bodge home remedy fix. Love your work!

This is, by far, the best DIY instructions I've seen on YouTube. I have watched several other videos, including some from GCN, but none of them came close! The other videos contained pieces of info here and there, but fell short on key details. Using their instructions, I was bleeding and bleeding and bleeding, but the brake lever was still touching the handlebar! Pardon the pun, but I thought the hydraulic system was going to bleed to death!
Thanks Oz Cycle for your comprehensive instructions and keen attention to details! Using your video, I was able to get my brakes fixed, and now they're perfect! I'm a happy camper!
Thanks Oz!

The most helpful brake bleeding video out there! The last part with the rubber band and getting the play out of the lever is pure gold 🥇

I can’t thank you enough! This 8:46 worked like a dream. Ever since my
First bleed I’ve never been able to get either brakes on my bike perfect. I did at least 3 bleeds following, GCNs, Parktool and Cycling weekly’s videos with no success but that one tip 10/10.

This is by far one of the best disc brake bleed videos I've seen. You show us some very helpful and quick techniques that make it clear how to get back a responsive disc brake system. 👏👏👏

A most excellent and clear video. No faff, just straight into the various problems and fixes. I'm new to hydraulic brakes, but will be saving this video so have a reference every time I need to service or fix my brakes. Thank you Oz Cycle for an excellent resource!

You are the king! I’ve done all the other steps before with mediocre results, but that topping off trick works perfectly! Thank you so much. I love that you don’t even take the wheels out. So fast!

You should've name this vid "Advanced Topics in Hydraulic Disc Brake Performance"

It's really an excellent video. Well done my friend!

[rogerleather]

Got to say, the tips in the final segments of this video are fantastic re the fine tuning of the fluid/ lever throw. I've bled, again my brakes, but couldn't solve the problem of the lever almost touching the bar. This trick has solved it and takes minutes.

Masterclass in brake tweaking. Thanks a lot for this mate, perfect! 👍🏻

[houston]

My front brake lever was almost touching the bar. Your tips helped bring it back to perfection! Thank you.

[paulseaman]

What a cracking video I have been scratching my head on how to improve the sensitivity and it literally is a 2 minute job. Thanks for the top tips 👍

[Tethysmeer]

These are gold! The fight is over and my brakes are so tight, I love it 😁thx for your great work.

[thierrylerinckx]

Absolutely best cycle tech videos on the tube thanks for making this great content. Disc brakes are wonderful once you demystify the tech. I also wax my chains and will never go back to oil.

[davidpimlott]

Finally I've got the lever pressure I big thumbs up to your method 👍👍👍

[stevenliu]

Like many others commented, I have watched so many other videos and still having issues with excess free stroke.
Then I watched your video and immediately identified the problem I was having.
Now I have a nice firm crispy brake..
I can’t thank you enough!!!! 🙏

[brianyates]

What a clear explanation! I was scared of my hydraulics but now i have more confidence. Thanks

12:00 if you don't have those spacers, just take out the wheel, put a folded business card on the rotor, put the wheel back in, then try again.
Works every time for me.
