I learned a couple of things from this video, mainly to balance the breaks b4 you hook everything up and that turning the spring tensioner screw clockwise makes the break arm pull away from the rim. Thanks!

*The Park Tool video calls for lubrication on the outer surfaces of the posts. The bolt threads, conversely, should be dry for the Loctite.*

Thank you very much for this, and best wishes from the UK!

exellent informative video and thank you for not using background music. A home without a cat is not really a home

[@Realethanfricke]

Thank you so much you’ve helped me more than anyone else with a similar video

[@julielemmer3617]

Thank you SO much for this video. Saved me yet another trip to the bike shop!

[@user-mi8qi3lm8y]

great video easy to follow learnt how to balance my brakes up which i have never done before many thanks

[@3uLLd0gs]

Very helpful. I’m gonna watch this video again when I’m actually replacing the brake. (Waiting for new brakes to arrive)

[@richardetter141]

Thank you so much ! I have learned this from you and am grateful sir ! Well done

[@chrisspurling]

Great point about getting the little nubs in the middle hole! Thanks!

[@jimbecarroll5780]

Yes I found this very helpful and informative. Very detailed and thorough. You even give alternatives for tools if you don't have em. Keep on Keepin on.

[@brendandonegan2150]

Thank you. Excellent video. I am about to replace 30 year old SunTour cantiver brakes with Shimano T610 V Brakes. This will be a great help.

[@pushbow]

Excellent job at systematically explaining the procedure, Thank You.

[@hshjdb8297]

Thank you for the great tutorial from Germany

[@womenswellness1577]

THank you ~ very good information! especially the adjusting the brake arms was very helpful! Much appreciated!!

[@mg-7047]

Great vid, clear, well filmed, and great-looking bike! Question, I'm having a problem assembling a new bike where the quick release neck on quick release tube (aluminum J) does not slide into opening of quick release lever. Is this a common issue and what's the fix? I'm afraid to open the cut-out and weaken the part. Bike came with all parts in the box, not mix and match. Thanks for the vid...you should have more views!

[@jamesquick3455]

This guy sounds like Denzel Washington but good video. Thank you.

[@svenlima]

What about installing V-brakes on a racebike? I've never seen that but they would be much more efficient than the classic brakes, I guess. However, is it technically possible?

[@ianmangham4570]

Excellent footage 🤟💯🤠🇬🇧🙏🇺🇲

[@8BBB88.]

My new brakes came with the adjustment screws so loose one was out and the other 3 were just one thread in. Do you have to screw them down either all the way or halfway in or anything before installing? No way one thread in is ok a bump in road would of shook them out. Thanks

[@wallacelawson9027]

I bought a set of those brake Calipers (front/rear), how to tell which one go on the front and which one go on the rear?.....

[@woodskid4ever]

Every vid talks about the three holes the arm nubs mount into but none say how the three holes affect brake action and which offers quicker return and response of the lever. ? But, all-in-all good vid!

[@chriselven8806]

Thanks very much for your help. Much better than the online Shimano manual (which I can't find!)

[@rezjrprod]

I was told no grease on the bolt threads cause it defeats the purpose of the loctite that's on there

[@TheTwistedStone]

Agreed and he doesn't mention the two different sized washers on the pads used for different fork gaps, had many customers with v-brakes set at 10 to 2... :)
Also find it easier to align the pads to the rim with the brake springs unhooked.

[@brennanvivaan2290]

Pro tip: watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@gibsoncolton2294]

@Brennan Vivaan Yea, have been watching on flixzone for months myself :)

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Thanks for posting as its just helped me set my brakes up. I used two credit cards as you suggested

[@MiriamPatrick-dc6hc]

Thank you, very helpful and I liked it much more than park tool video

[@SOLDOZER]

Amazing not a single person in any of these videos mentions the barrel adjuster.

[@pattiedemann9927]

Super awesome step by step process. Thank you so much

[@marcusvonp]

Outstanding demo. Thank you!

[@CyclPaths]

Great video!

[@user-sc5bj3ye9m]

Excellent!

[@mrichards55]

I noticed the new Shimano brake arms did not sit flush with the bosses. There’s a few mm gap. Did that bother you at all?

[@mattbailey682]

Why did you only show the front brake. Trying to figure out how to remove the back brake bolt that threads into my frame, then into the brake.

[@jacobjche]

This man has 3 hands.

[@calvo9978]

Thank you! That was.a great help! I appreciate the time you put into the video.

[@ianmangham4570]

V brakes drive me insane 😮

[@antdx316]

The bolts are not supposed to be greased because they will vibrate loose.

[@sonnybee8271]

wher can I get the adjustment screws ,or do I have to buy new v brakes

[@silviu8672]

the springs adjustments are inverted

[@dennisbaliton7833]

Great instructions!

[@temporaryscars]

This helped me a ton. Thanks so much!
