Talk about good fortune! ! Just purchased the exact, same bike on craigs list for my wife. Turns out I need to adjust the brakes and voila, found your video. Liked and subscribed. Thanks!
Thank you!! I was having a hard time getting the brake set up correctly on my daughter’s bike, and thanks to your video I was able to correct it in about 5 minutes!
Great video.. Any idea if the front nut and cap have any adjustments for centering? I know if I tighten them down too much the brake will not move but that's all I have figured out
Excellent video. Just what I needed to set up the front brakes on my granddaughter's bike I got her for Xmas. It came in kit form. No issues building it but it's the essential safety adjustments I need help with. Just need to figure out how to adjust the rear disc brakes now as they don't apply any braking.
Thanks, this helped me adjust the rear brakes on a cheap Kent bike I got a good deal on. I know this is an older video, but is there a video on how to adjust the shifter on a Kent cruiser? Mine isn’t shifting properly.
These can be a pain, I have some old school dia-compe that give me trouble and are giving me trouble right now. The cool thing about them though is that they are lighter than my shimano dual pivot brake.
every time i try to adjust the brakes one side just sticks again. i can center them but once i pull the brake lever they un-center and one side sticks.
You do exactly that, you let air out of your tire 🤣 Yeah they can be a pain sometimes, you can loosen the brake up some so the tire will squeeze by, you can try and force it through, or just let some air out.
I bought this bike and regret it. Second time riding I tried to shift gears. Chain went off track and locked, the derailleur broke right off. It’s going back to Walmart.

Merry Christmas to all the parents watching this video early Christmas morning!

You can also fine-tune how close the pads are to the wheel with the hollow bolt on the other arm of the side-brake, right?
Can you also use the nut in the front to cemter it or just the back?

Great video!
Appreciate it!
This helped immensely, thank you. Now my wife can stop yelling at me.
😂🤘
Barrel adjuster??
Those brakes were not only on "budget bikes" . Good quality vintage bikes had/have them.
How the hell do you removed the wheel with this type of brake without letting air out of tire..
You do exactly that, you let air out of your tire 🤣 Yeah they can be a pain sometimes, you can loosen the brake up some so the tire will squeeze by, you can try and force it through, or just let some air out.
@@YourFavoriteCyclist ok.. was hoping there was a better hack.. I let air out of tire.. so that I dont mess up my adjustments.. thank you..

Um I thought this was going to be a great video until it ended without showing the rear brake adjustment! is that another video.
