How To Improve Cheap, Mechanical, ONE Piston Disc Brakes For More Braking Power. Single Actuation.

Don't simply buy new brakes, if your mechanical, single actuation ones lack power. Let me show you, how to improve braking performance, by better adjusting the fixed pad...

You explained this much more clearly than the other dozen or so cable brake repair videos I watched. Thank you!

This wasn't the EXACT fix to my issue, but the basic problem was the same and you gave enough hints that I could get it sorted. Legend thank you very much 🙏

In a simple nutshell: If you squeeze your brakes & you can see the rotor physically move side to side at ALL, your brakes are out of perfect adjustment. After watching this great tutorial, I was able to get my Tektro Mira brakes perfectly adjusted to where when I squeezed the brake all the way there was absolutely no rotor movement from side to side & no disc brake rotor rubbing on the brake pads. You helped me squeeze the maximum performance I can get out of my single-sided piston mechanical disc brakes on my gravel bike! 👍🔥🚴🏻‍♂️🔥

Finally a view you can actually see (most are so dark) and a great detailed explanation. Thank you!

Adjusted my brakes in seconds after watching your excellent tutorial. Unlike another channel high profile, you showed just one type of braking system (same as mine) and not three, which is confusing for a novice. Cheers, you now have another subscriber.

you literally saved my life. i changed the brake pad (the last one was fine) thinking that it was worn out, tighten my cables, adjusted my caliper and there is still no braking power. i did not know we could adjust the non-moving piston. i tried it and now my brake is fine. thanks a lot man.

I admire you for speaking in English even though clearly its not your main language, so you can teach us english only understanding ppl. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

Thank you so much!

My brakes had been pretty weak these last few weeks, and I thought it had something to do with the cables.

Turns out, I just needed to adjust its padding.

Thank you for your very clear explanation. I just got a bike with mechanical disk brakes, and was confused by other videos which would show multiple variations of disk brakes, and your video cleared up the steps to take.

You taught me everything I needed to know to fix my bike on my own today 😢

Thank you so much 🙏

This is the simplest video outthere if you are begginer, before i had v brakes, now i have my first bike with disc brakes who were loose and with the help of this video i fixed it myself👌👌

Best bike help video. There are many more amateur budget bikers than professionals. And we need this kind of help! Thank you! I fixed the tension on my mechanical brakes today (and they pull from both sides) and it still worked. ❤

[bravo--zero]

Very clear explanation as always. Therapeutic and satisfying just to watch. Thank you!

By rear rotor was bending a lot on braking. Hardly moves and no rubbing now.
Saved me a trip to decathlon, thanks.

I've had a problem with my new pads not fully stopping n I've tried everything but no one told me about loosening the piston housing and then spinning the wheel and breaking to re centre the piston..brilliant advice.brilliant tutorial..thank you my friend..

[jasondoyle]

Absolutely excellent video. Super clear camera work and concise methodical approach. A real pleasure to watch and learn. Many Thanks!

💚 I adjusted my brakes today! Perfect!

Best video I've seen on how to adjust single piston mechanical brakes

[MentalDadd]

Legend just sorted my brakes on seeing this video saved me few pennies. Cheers 😊

[buffalomind]

Not only was it very well explained, but you showed up close the mechanics of it.

Thanks as I’ve calibrated them several times now, but the last few times they barely brake which is Uber dangerous. I knew of the other inner side of the wheel, but haven’t until now after seeing your demonstration will do just that.
