Oh yeah man I almost forgot, well actually I did forget and stuff so I'm doin it agin. On the brake thing you said it can just hit it almost like straight but don't worry about it hittn it at an angle and if yer putn too much pressure then it's hittn it the wrong way but this kind doesn't need to be hittn it like that so just put it you know so it's hittin the side of the rim. Is that true?

Dude like thanks man you know it's like that thing was stuck and man it was not working so I tightened that other thing and screwed both things so the thing would work you know so now all of the things are all tight or loose and the thing didn't stick so you made it all quick and easy you know.

Nice vid. Any idea how to fix if ur callipers are both moving at the same time but on releasing only one side moves back?...have tried adjusting the tension with those little screws and both r clamping at the same time, just one side is not springing back ...highly annoying...

the stares in the beginning was quite intense lol, really good video, thanks for helping me tuning my brakes.

@KC4VENDETTA I think that's why you'd "toe it in" which he said not to... Sheldon Brown's website also suggests using "salmon pads".Good luck!
