Thanks for actually explaining why the brakes would not lock .. you the only video out the last seven ive watched to actually take the time to go into detail.. it saved my day , thanks 🙏
You are the Best and your video is a blessing to all the Bike lovers...... I'm soooo much impressed with your detailed information on the chosen subject and it helped me a lot to understand the breaking mechanism properly.........Just imagine if with this much of knowledge, sincerity & passion every skilled person works what glory they can bring to their country ....... Amazing work...... keep it up .......
Most welcome Sir..... bit confused about the washer orientation...... Actually the thick washer remains close to the rim or the thin one comes first..... kindly help.....
The thicker taller spacer usually goes close to the wheel. If you change them around the brake arm will look like it’s severely angled and not vertical. Try it and experiment.
Great Video ... Very well done I'm Glad you Cleaned that Rim up HOLY MOLY LOL. Brakes work much better on a New Refreshed Surface also I like to put one of those Cable Boots on the cable between the Noodle and the cable lockdown nut just for Appearance. THANKS You're Helping a lot of People out here
Mine were a pig! Once I worked out the position of the callipers I then had to get the spring in the right hole. If it wasn't spot on the pads wouldn't line up on the wheel. Thanks for the pointers.
My rare tire brake pad came lose, when I tighten it, I saw that one side stays stationary and one is moving. How can I make both side same space? I tried to adjust the tensions, but it didn’t increase or reduce the spaces at all
Each side has a small Philips adjustment screw to increase tension. Tightening clockwise will also increase the space between pad and rim. You want spring tension on both (sides) brakes thrive off of tension. Tighten the side of the brake ar that needs space (tension), also loosening the opposite side screw will allow more space the side you say needs it. When you loosen the screw you are turning the spring tension down or weakening it. Hope I did not confuse you.
Each brake arm has a spring. It could be that one or both armed have little spring tension. Use the small screws on the side of the arms and tighten. Or the noodle is caught on something manipulating the v brakes.
Hopeless positioning of unnecessary text over images, distracting twirling dissolves, relentless repetition, irritating music, I gave up three minutes in.

i been fixing bikes since i was 13 with my cousin i’m 27 now just got into biking again. so refreshing thank you!
Great video! Enjoying the step by step explanation and the safety of the V Brake noodle when you hear the click.
Thank you Jessie. I thinks it’s the small details that can make the difference.

Best video I have been looking for! Awesome instructions 😊
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching. ⚙️🏁
Thanks. Very clear. I wonder why the outside parts need to have a thicker washer and concave washer? Neither seem to be necessary.
I want to believe they are helping with setting the correct articulation angles.
Thanks, except the flat side of the thicker washer sits on the bracket so adjustment isn’t possible on the outside.
High quality video - thank you!
Your welcome. 🏁⚙️
Absolutely brilliant tutorial
Thank you Alexandre! ⚙️🏁

Your welcome Phillip!
Very helpful. Especially you were showing minute 9:58. I did the same mistake.
Glad it helped!

Thank you Hari!!

@@BikeTeacher Thank you. I’ll try that 🙏🏻
Great instruction
Thanks Jerry⚙️🦃
The thicker concave washer goes on the side nearest the wheel rim.
Typically, yes.
The brake pads are too tight how do I loosen the noodle?
Hi, you will need to turn in (tighten the brake lever's barrel adjuster if there is room or loosen the cable pinch bolt and let some cable out.
Issue is my vbrake doesnt come back to position after releasing the brake
Each brake arm has a spring. It could be that one or both armed have little spring tension. Use the small screws on the side of the arms and tighten. Or the noodle is caught on something manipulating the v brakes.
What about toe adjustment?
I’d say 95% of the time I don’t need to toe v brakes. They cooperate nicely.
I believed the sequence for your washers were arranged wrongly for yoyr left pad.
Maybe, I would need to review the video.
I'm going nuts here. Neither way bring caliper to lock . Changed all positions of washers and inches off.. ugh!
Are you saying the noodle will not engage? Have you tried to release cable tension, double check for ends of housing not sitting correctly?
Brilliant!
Thank you. ⚙️🏁

Thanks for the feedback. I stripped all that stuff on my current videos.
