How To Replace Bicycle Brake Pads

[Fredrasaurus]

great username

[mralansmith]

please describe brake TYPE in title. This video only applies to some brakes.

[HmOnGbOi202]

what kind of brakes are those called?

[Jankzhpjfc]

is that the same as the back?

[royalconcrete1]

oh yeah, thanks for making this video

[royalconcrete1]

I'm sooo glad I dont have to take the whole rigamorow off!

[clairepollard22]

How can i tell which little bolt to loosen if your hand is in the way! Not helpful.

[HLGObjective]

so your guide: 1) take old ones off. 2) put new ones on.

[russboy920]

nearly the same as hydraulik disc break :D

[diggerproud1]

It would help if you didn't hide what you were doing with your hands

[MRsuperbored12]

can any brake pad fit for any bike?

[silentFATAL]

@MRsuperbored12 the bike has the least to do with it. your wheelset and calipers are what you should look at. there are 2 (to my knowledge) different kinds, one is a long brake pad, usualy for the mtbs, or higher end road bikes. and then you have the smaller brake pad for older road bikes, and bmx bikes. etc.

[gamerchannel221]

[MadridMan3790]

very helpful video

[bandoboy32]

wow. the pads had a good amount of life left in them you keep going until you hit the little lip about 1/16 inch away. other than that good vid.

[shaterproofblosm]

fuck. im so sick of people berly knowing what there on about and/or showing litle detail. im gona get a camera and film some of my own stuff. parcually just to show how kick ass i am.

[lamborghinigallarodo]

i can only fit one brake pad in the other one cant go in

[vonauritz]

Try removing the wheel..

[jmoyet]

i brake bads have groves but they are not gripping even when i press the brakes as hard as i can... do i need to replace the brakes pad or do something to the pads to make them have grip again?

[s0meguy0001]

you didn't have to replace those pads, those are aztec (made by madison) pads... they don't have grooves. they have that ridge line as a wear indicator instead. those pads had plenty of life left, and were of far better quality than the cheapo ones you replaced them with. doh!

[shyflirt1]

If they don't have grooves, why did the ones on the front have grooves? And they worked like crap. The ones I replaced them with were Shimano 105's.

[Jabbajawz4life]

@shyflirt1 I have shimano on my bike and they work like a charm!

[urbanmanc]

Brake Blocks .... pads are in disc brakes, in the UK anyway.

[ghostgaffdeck08]

Ummm Im from the UK and disk brakes are called calipers and v brakes are called brake PADS

[sid2a]

Ummmm no pads go in the caliper, Vbrakes have blocks and disc brakes have pads

[123walmas]

thanks, this was exactly what i needed

[quillman]

Muchas Gracias from Austin TX, yo.

[ParkCityGuide]

Thanks, very helpful. I read somewhere to angle the leading edge of the pad so that it hits the rim first before the rear end of the pad. Is that true? Otherwise the brakes will squeal?

[oma121]

It's called toe-in, but there is a debate over whether or not it's necessary.

[limebater]

they should also never squeal unless the rim is dirty or dampe

[Mamanita9]

Am grabbing the wrench with newfound confidence! Thank you! To agent 648: washers go on outside, it looks like.

[agent648]

i just dont know which way the washers go on

[sandma1half]

[Subfightr]
