Front Avid Juicy 7 Install part 2

Me going through the installation of an Avid Juicy 7 brake kit with 7`rotor on the front of my Fluid. Again I apologize for the low volume. Also want to apologize for the bad lighting and me constantly going out of frame. I didn`t realize tthese things until I uploaded them onto the comp. I`ll probably make a new tutorial vid when I get the rear brakes.

Did you find the speed dial levers any better compared to the FR-5's?

@sahilcc7 wow didn't think anybody would stumble upon this vid anymore.

anyways, yes, the speed dial levers made a huge difference in that i can 'balance' out both brake levers.

on cable brakes, especially with cheap cables, the rear brake lever would tend to feel harder to squeeze than the fronts because of more cable, more resistance.

what glue.....???? why ???........you just tighten them....thats it. They lock automatically. Do you put glue on bolts when you mount rims to a car.....no.

@SuperBigboy1985

no the bolts do not automaticallylock.

rims on a car are held on by shear torque.

in this case, such torque would probably damage the bolt heads or threads.

besides, the botls that came with the brakes had a thin film of thread locker on them, so why not reapply thread locker if the original film has worn off?

[SuperBigboy1985]

@nitronovice Ok......but those bolts also have some torque....made of steel probably.....just dont overtighten them...... Hey, do you speak Slovene....cause of nitro novice ?

@SuperBigboy1985

lol, well, its also a safety measure.

and no, i dont speak slovene. i think i got the name as a suggestion for a forum username and it kinda carried on.

i'm not sure the exact name but its permatex for sure, and blue. read the labels: should say its for metal fasteners or something along the lines of that.

remeber to tighten the bolts down in a star pattern slowly, not cranking each bolt down in one go. (:

Bolts arrived today. :)) Permatex® Surface Insensitive

Threadlocker BLUE? It will be good? Need to buy some glue, than I'm going to rotor mounting. ;))

@freemusicblogg

make sure you use some loctite or similar on the screws so they dont back out by themselves over time. i've had good results with permatex blue liquid and gel threadlockers.

enjoy your brakes (:

So, your rotors still holds well? Ok, that's what I wanted to know. Going to buy screws without washers, so it's better to ask before I do it. :))
