Stroker bleeding procedure

[leonponjee]

I just bough Hayes Bleed Kit Hayes Pro 98-23572 for €35. WHAT A GARBAGE. The bottle with oil jumps off every time.

[zacshackalack]

i want this guy to do my brakes every time

[wengaiden]

one of my brake doesnt work. is cause cuz the system lose oil or cuz have air???

[robac000]

i dont know about you but i dont like those breaks, i got em, original pad sucks, i bought swisstop brake pads and it still sucks, it doesnt brake like deore or some other brakes in that group, tell me your opinion about those brakes, tnx

[Gusb135]

@robac000 i've got them and i think they're great :) maybe you've just got a bad pair, it happens sometimes 

[zbib87]

c'est le meme systeme de purge avec les hayes HFX9 (nine)

[zbib87]

dommage qu'il n'y en a pas de tuto en FR

[13woj13]

I have just bled my brakes, so i went to test them, before i got on it, i spun the wheel nd braked, everything was ok, so i got on it and then braked few times but then suddenly the brake pads are braking on the rotors, they didnt let go with the rotor and the lever is now impossible to be pressed, can anyone help? Sorry if it doesnt make sence :D

[BIGGBAGA]

@13woj13 it might be the lever body need's lubricating on the o-rings. Open the lever pull out the parts wipe them down and lubricate the o-rings , re-bleed.

[grizley123]

f..... piece of shit. you buy a kit and get few drops of fluid, tiny plastic bottle and few cm of plastic hose. and where the hell is this compressing bushing? hose comes off immediately, brake fluid is everywhere and your calliper sucks air. awesome...

[SuperM1i2c3h4a5e6l7]

THANX



[finnrambo1]

is this the same for hayes nine brakes?

[lifeisgood070]

@finnrambo1 hey how are your hayes nine brakes working? I'm laughing cause I have the same ones. I've bleed them over 10 times in 2 years. Awesome power for 2 weeks, then bad lever feel for 2 weeks, then lack of power. It's really fun to bleed them, isn't it? I'm getting new ones this week. Hard to pick though. Hope, Avid, Hayes?

[finnrambo1]

@lifeisgood070 those hope brakes got good reviews, I've found the hayes nines not to be too bad for the shore but at whistler they're horrible, I eventually got sick of it and got shimano saints, and shimano m505's for my hardtail and really like them great modulation and even the lowest end m505's are still more powerful than my nines

[joelad84]

I carried this out but when ive finished i still have poor brakes. Is there something im missing?? Done everything as it says but no joy.

[ddfuji]

i freaking love his video. way easier then those stupid instructions

[krimsoneyez]

Watch out when you pull the lever during bleeding, you can risk reintroducing air into the master cylinder. What he doesn't tell you is that they have a check valve on the hose to their catch bottle, so they can flick it as many times and air can only go out

[chrisq1w2e3]

hey i was wondering if you could help me i changed the pads in my stroker rydes and now my break does not work at all it just comes right back to the handle bar and nothing happens. ?

[energ8t]

@chrisq1w2e3 Sounds like you got air in your line somehow. Any air will kill the brake. You may have to rebleed the system.

[josnixs]

As 33,50€ is a rip of u`r body and this video cost my caplilar rear side Don`t never use a tool into u`r Capilar so he does in his video whit his tool use better a pease of

woor 20mm u`r pistons go`s easy inside Im a fool and broke my both pistons

this video is for a new Hayes not a year 2008 cube bike

[josnixs]

U`r idiot this is not for all the hayes nine only for new ones I broke my whole hydraulic system because u`r movie not all brakes you can put the piston back whit a wrench

I haqve to tank you very very much now I need a whole back system 120€ before that

I buy a bleeding set from 20 € no more than a bottle,a hose and a little oil ,,one niplle people look out this are brakes bring this to u`r dealer and spend some more lots of people ask are these for Hayes nine ??? there are a lot off nines

[KinaskyHenk]

How come you get to love the bikes? of course if you do...

[capulazza]

is this demo good for hayes hfx 9 brakes?

[danielbahia]

Can you tell me if its posible to use car brake fluid dot 4 or even motorcicles dot 4 on hayes brakes?

[pooky460]

@danielbahia i wouldnt its viscostity is probably too thick and itll make your brakes feel sluggish its best to use the branded fluid .. i.e shimano works best with shimano branded mineral mineral oil so play it safe and use hayes dot 3 or 4 fluid

[h0lystrike]

@danielbahia yes it's possible

[highfencejumper]

This is hands down one of the best tutorials online!

[MRjasoNxD]

muito bom ^^

[mrbikeSHOWS]

Молодец мужик. Спасибо !!

[Roger161]

Right on !! Just in time for me to change out brake shoes and re-bleed the brakes.  Thanks Hayes !!

[maroubra1957]

greast stuff . I have Hayes STroker brakes on my bike and this is very very useful information for me.

[notebookcritic]

Andy, you're the best! Thanks!

[dumpywhite]

People complain but really if you do it correctly you won't have any problems.

[iain7777]

Worst bleed kit ever - do yourself a favour and buy the mag compression bushing too if your unlucky enough to have to do this or prepare for a big mess and fluid in your eyes - potential health and safety nightmare!

[LJinALASKA]

exactly what i was looking for

[fifthme]

what an absolute load of balls. I've just spent 18 quid on this kit and it's worth about 49 pence. I caliper tube kept slipping off spilling brake fluid all over the floor, and when I did finally get them bled they still didn't work. Rubbish kit, rubbish brakes.

[C22Sickle]

@fifthme User error.

[fifthme]

@C22Sickle Really helpful. Idiot.

[robidoo123]

Would it be too much to ask for the mag compression bushing to be included in the bleed kit.

As £20 is a rip off for the kit as I lost count of how many times the hose popped off the niple mid bleed.

[JOZLEDEACHE]

buenisimo!!

gracias!!

[jondi11]

sorry might of missed something, but didn't you not mention when to re-attach the pads. Good tutorial never the less

[LaMota101]

It cannot get any easier than that. Great help

[7hgarcia]

@LaMota101 get avid 5 and buy the bleed kit it is way easier

[aca192maric]

[Flowerwald]

Yeah man thats helps a lot ;D

[dnsdesign]

thanks Andy!

i will not go to machanical anymore :)

[snixxdusud]

marvelous video guyz one love

[lambybutler1]

This was much better than trying to read how to do this in the manual. Once you've go the right equipment (i.e. Proper fitting spanner and bleed fitting) , it's actually not that difficult to do.

Yes you could go and get it repaired professionally but you may have to wait weeks ...

Thanks Andy!

[snake233]

lol it was very useful thanks a lot

[asherhalbrindley]

it feels good..........................­...lol

[s062408738]

how do i bleed my soles?

[fencerxstud]

what does bleeding brakes do?

[crazyrob101]

wat do u do for the front brake

[jamed2017]

eeee this was sort og useful.

and im bleeding shinamo brakes

[PrivateRidgway]

Much better than the PDF guide on the website!

[Deluxe2969]

As a substitute for the compression fitting, I used a ziptie and it worked well. Zip tie the hose, place the hose over the bleed screw, then pull the zip tie as tight as you can. Then just to make sure it's holding the hose on the bleed screw tight, slide the zip tie back up the hose right above the bleed screw, then pull it one more "click," then compress it back down over top of the hose and bleed screw to ensure the tightest fit. It holds very well and no spillage.

[jeremy251]

Great video, thanks to all who made it, awesome guide :D

[blurglide]

OK- I just used a standard 1/4" brass compression bushing from Lowes.  I had to dremel it out a bit to fit on the bleed fitting. To really get it locked onto the fitting, use some pliers and twist it on down. The hose would still pop off my syringe and spray brake fluid everywhere.

The 6mm box wrench was a real bitch to find- especially if you don't want to buy a whole set, which I wound up having to do.

[blurglide]

Where do I find that compression fitting to hold the hose on the caliper? That is the most infuriating part of bleeding brakes.

[MDCrew101]

surisly though and i cant fit the hose oon the bottle

[lookout24]

It's so called "olive". It is a standard compression fitting for almost all disc brakes.

[hydraman5]

the real name for an olive is the cutting ring.and yes its a standard fitting in all hydraulics..

[pointless14]

do you know if the hayes so1e calipers have normal fittings eg do the bolts that hold it on point towards the disc? or does it mount like the one in this video

[weejohn20]

this video helps so much! but id rather it showed some closer detail!

[brf0207pod]

This why I love you tube, yesterday I learnt how to play Pretty Vacant....and now I'm not going to die cycling to work

[GrooveApprentice]

Excellent ! Thanks Andy !

I wish that I'd seen this before I started bleeding ! Hayes' online doc is not great. I'm glad they moved to a Torx bleeder plug.

[konashred55]

very good and very helpful

[jakkemate]

Una ayuda muy buena. Este es el videotutorial que buscaba.

[rutheg1nger]

extremely useful. i think i might go out and buy some strokers, cos they look really cool!

[hughdesmond2006]

@rutheg1nger dont man they are pretty shit. get hayes hx9, they are cheaper, more common (spare parts, might be able to get second hand) and better power and modulation!

[BobBurnes]

This was good! I'd like to see some on fork maintainance or shock set up.

[denabiker]

very very good video!

Thanks a lot!
