Maybe the brake pads are worn, but nonetheless: There's a little screw hole on the lever just under handle with an 8 mm Torx head you can adjust. But from my experience it could make your brakes squeak if you turn it too far.
I had the same. I realized it’s because I forgot the small metal spacing ring between the frame and the wheel. Use your eyes’ judgment on where to place it to align it to the middle.
@arkadijzacharov1965 you need to adjust the break pads to be a little away from the disc so they don't rub. So repeat the steps again but this time insert a piece of visiting card or thick paper between the disc and the break pads on both sides. If you cannot get the visiting card in between the disc and the break pads, you might want to push the break pads back using a screw driver first (there's another video about doing that on vanmoof channel).
@@AdamFaruqi This kind of attitude is why bikes aren't seen as a serious means of transportation. Cyclists all think that a bike should be more than just a vehicle, it should be a whole damn hobby. If someone just needs to get from A to B and doesn't want to spend their Saturday afternoons maintaining their ride, biking should still be an option for them. Sure, it'll be more expensive, but it's always cheaper to DIY than to hire a professional. Either choice is still perfectly valid.
@@balderdash707 It's not that cyclists are the problem, people like you who don't take bikes as transportation seriously are the problem. The are many countries that don't have enough bike infrastructure to make cycling as a form of transportation viable. The real reason people don't ride their bikes to work or school is that cycling in-between cars is too scary or distances are too big. Here in the Netherlands everyone has at least 1 bike and obviously not everyone is a "cyclists" that rides for sport or hobby and wants to get dirty on repairing their bikes, but instead they either go to a regular bike shop that does maintenance for pretty cheap or know someone else that can do it. It's like saying you don't buy Ikea because assembling furniture is too complicated. In the Netherlands, working on bikes is a bit of a man's job that dads like to do and get proud of like hanging up a TV. It's a different culture.
What exactly is break cleaner ?
What do you do adjust if you have excessive lever movement?

This helps alot
Excellent - thank you :-)
I did all the steps, but my brakes are still squeaking:(

@@gyorgyszemok42 My S3’s lock was permanently stuck and they told me to remove that washer. It fixed the lock issue, but now my brakes are squeaking.
Try removing the brake pads then sanding them a bit

I don’t know how you guys run your lives but I didn’t spend 3K euro to start messing around with my bike 😂 I’ll let you guys to that oké
You're spending 3k on a bike and not willing to learn about basic maintenance? Maybe start with a cheaper bike lol
