@wizups Let me ask you this. Would you rather gamble and risk your life / the life of another person on a dodgy lever, or walk somewhere in relative safety? There is a third option but we can get into that shortly. I know full well the choice I would make, privileged or not. Its less about privilege and more about not wanting to die or kill someone else. This is unfortunately one of those scenarios where a viewer of this content is either going to agree or disagree with the methods used and the risks involved and frankly anyone who agrees with such methods will not have the sense to see the inherent faults and implications. There is risk involved in everything from tying your shoe laces in the morning and snapping your spine, to jumping off a bridge later in the afternoon. Tying your shoe laces is unlikely to affect anyone else, but the afternoon bridge jump has the potential to involve other people and so questions have to be asked. Its a risk assessment around the potential to injure other people, and this lever repair is just off the scale.
So you just need: -1,5 battery, -box cutter, -pair of pliers, -metal sheet cutters, -toiler cleaner with hydrochloric acid, -vise, -cordless drill -Philips bit size 2 and a Phillips head self drilling screw ( if you don't have a drill bit for some reason) -purple marker, -angle grinder with metal cutting disc and long M4 screw (if you don't have a taper for some reason), -screwdriver, -red marker, -pair of tweezers, -cotton wool, -blowing torch, -lighter, -solder wire, -toothpaste with abrasive, -buffing wheel for angle grinder, -sandpaper, -hammer, Probably the only think missing here is life insurance if you are going to actually use this hand brake lever, but i'm afraid they won't cover the damage if they find what was done to the lever ...
Well atleast he invented his own soldering flux, a new method of drilling holes & he made is own improvised tap for the thread. Some poor people can atleast use these tech rather than buying expensive tools & accessories
@@Vortextech1850 I mean... he discovered tek screws.. lol Let's not get carried away. :) I like ingenuity just fine, but if your brake breaks when you need to brake, being broke will be the least of your issues..
SERIOUSLY - Pretty damn close - the thin, sheet metal cylinders for exterior of the ("jettisoned") boosters of the Artemis Project rocket are being "friction- welded", rather than TIG, for Alum. alloy. The thin plates (~ 2mm) are "butt- joined", then 2 flat "pressure pins" of hard steel - each about 15mm (1/2 in) dia. apply pressure, from both sides, then friction - by rotating, at about 200- 300 rpm ( looks like "drill- press" speed ). The sheet metal is slowly fed, perfectly "butted", between the rotating pressure- pins.. - The result is what looks like a perfectly welded, flat sheet, behind the pins (no flux used) only circular marks, to mark the "seam". - It looks great, the pressure and rotation reach the melting pt. of the Alum. alloy - BUT - these welds have been failing occasionally - Engineers not sure why - so resulting in some serious delays... - My info is that this is not a "new" welding method - just not been used for rockets before.
so you think that this video was made so nasa could use this method do you? well your wrong, nasa actually uses this method already where do you think the science come from dumbass

@@leetucker9938 It won't snap as it has the screw in the core and that strengthens it. But yes, totally waste of time and money for something what you can buy brand new at at least 1/3 of the cost to repair it. Unless you have nothing better to do... lol
This is just an exemplary project for one to expound upon. Common sense. And safety first. Thank you for the tip. Now I shall couple this with my experience in other areas of creativity and in conjunction. I shall now leave you and retire to my laboratory where I may spend the next fortunate licking the wounds of failure after failure as I unsuccessfully attempt to conceive such doltish and may I add " primitive" contraptions of things u useful and unworthy of claim.

Nice fix… but I wouldn't trust it. If you pull the brakes to avoid crashing into a car and the lever breaks you may have saved money but you'll definitely end up in the hospital... or maybe worse!
Clever method. Yes easier and cheaper to buy new but people just don't get his point. It is very handy to know skills like this. A lot more to it than people realise. Excellent improvisation. Making a tap out of a screw Using the battery to make a flux The end result is perfectly serviceable. Heating and hammering straight shows the strength of the joint. Thanks for the video - anyone who really knows engineering would find the processes used to be interesting.

It's because these people have been trained to be consuming sheep and everytime something breaks they buy a new one. If ever in a real emergency, everyone in this comments section would be begging this guy to help.😂
What's up with all the negative feedback. A fix like this has endless uses and can be applied to much more critical things than the break lever used for this demonstration. All you people running your mouths are the real waste of time. You sound like a bunch of idiots thinking your so smart.

And now the question remains: How much force can it handle before it breaks? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a brake handle that is very likely to break off again.
Not defending this "repair" because it's absolute garbage... But sneeze on those things and they snap. They're jelly bean parts anyway, his repair probably cost more to do than to just get a new one.
The integrity of the fixed lever comes from the steel screw inside. Make it longer, much longer. Also drill larger diameter holes, because it is extremely difficult to place them 0.1mm precision to face each other. If the hole is larger you can fill it with epoxy, push a steel rod in it and align the parts snug, without gap. Also: this is not welding. Buy a new one, or just go to a shop where they use argon and really do weld.
Thank you for your advice, I tried making a video this way and had trouble soldering it, now I can complete part 2 of this task, thank you for sharing, good luck! Merry Christmas and keep supporting us. ❤️
No way I would put my brakes on that mend. First time you need to do an emergency stop the forces involved in the panicked grip will snap it at the repair...
Growing up in the projects. We learned to do what it takes to fix stuff instead of running to the store for a new on all the rime. Although the tools he used may have been expensive (some of them) They could have been acquired over time. There's PROUD in repairing and knowing how to repair. So the simpler way may have been run out and buy another. There's peace of mind KNOWING you can fix it. IF need be. I say KUDOS!! To this guy!!! Great work!❤

@RandySeverino I don't think he spent much on that stuff. In those parts of the world people know how to help themselves. A neighbor even the man himself probably had this on hand in his home "shop." Maybe he doesn't have $7, and maybe Amazon doesn't deliver where he works. Think about it before you comment.
Clever idea. A few suggestions on how to make it better. First, you left the bluing agent on the joint. It will contaminate the joint so get that off with acetone before brazing and you will get a much stronger joint. Brushing the Al around the crack to take off the oxide layer will also help. Second, while the steel screw trick was a clever way to tap the hole, steel should not be in direct contact with aluminum as it creates a battery of sorts and will corrode; search “galvanic corrosion”. Use an aluminum fastener if you can find one. Finally, there are aluminum brazing rods like Aluxcor that are intended for this purpose and work pretty well. Personally if I had to reuse the part I would tack it together with a tig welder, grind out a groove on both sides to ensure full penetration, tig weld it, grind and polish. A break lever is a safety item.

Very good advice. The only issue is where he's at in the world. Exotic brazing rods are next to impossible. I work 3000 miles from the nearest town and we don't have such luxuries. However this is not a bad idea if you look at the chemistry😂
@@inventorK20 There are not men that are NASA professors. though the organisation may have professors who work at NASA. You are not the bright spark . This is the most mishandled metallic cluster that can be presented. Your use of zinc to enable a bond of sorts between aluminium and solder is a creative thought. But tin and lead do not have the type of strength you need in that application. So you add a threaded bit of steel. You don't teach a professor who works at NASA a single solitary iota yet! more likely a professor who works a NASA tasked with solving this problem might return with an improved shape of the lever cast in 7077 alloy or 6061? Perhaps a billet of such exotic alloy you will be perplexed by the formula, which is then milled to within a rough tolerance around 0.0001" by CNC machinery, that he writes the code for would present a stronger item with no contamination or flaw that also is made to fit much better. If you really believe a native fellow will ride a worn out scooter from the jungles of Asia unable to remain upright on it then breaks the lever off and is subsequently overwhelmed by the prospect of obtaining a new bit from Japan for his 40 year old Honda will then arise to educate an aerospace engineer he calls professor that is a man involved in realities beyond your wildest nightmares, then you my fine feathered friend have got another cluck plucking. operating a camera and editing on the computer though?

The idea of the video is to demonstrate that you have options. In many parts of the world, it is often quite difficult to get parts. Especially if you live any distance from the nearest supply or order center, and the only vehicle that you have is the one that needs the part. It's kind of a "catch - 22" .

The ingenuity here is top level (he made his own tap and uses self-tapping screws as drill bits!), but: 1- I am a bit surprised to see ten fingers, considering the cavalier use of the angle grinder! 2- No "welding" took place here. The mechanical strength is in the insert he embedded in the handle. 3- Why dissolve the battery casing in drain cleaner to make a zinc solution in either acid or base (can't tell which) to clean the brake lever before soldering?
Hello, button batteries, phone batteries... often contain toxic elements such as cadmium, mercury... When rusted or punctured, these substances can leak out. Furthermore, when we go to work, we still lack insurance for ourselves. I'm glad you gave me useful suggestions, especially regarding your own health and that of everyone else. We will try to improve them in the next videos. Wishing you and your family all the luck. lucky lucky. lucky
Interestingly I believe that caustic soda also reacts with zinc although it's mentioned in error,, or is it ? I've often made up zinc chloride flux exactly from the battery casings which I always misplace cos I don't label my containers , it's a great flux for stainless steel too. It don't work as a useful flux for aluminium though. But I ain't tried the solution of zinc in caustic soda as a flux .

Let's be honest: If NASA would build their StarLiner with materials from Harbor Freight and/or HomeDepot, they'd be out of business a long time ago! So much for your respect towards NASA professors!
I agree with other commenters that this is probably unsafe. You should replace the part if you can. That said, just wanted to correct the video title: this is soldering, not welding. The use of the zinc solution creates a flux compatible with aluminum.
This is a good demo of a rework. While appreciating the efforts it is difficult for a normal person with limited tools and no brazing equipment.The above work can be attempted if the part is not available in the market. Otherwise replacement is the best option.

While this was clever, I’m not sure I’d repair a brake lever, or at least, not by brazing. Not sure what metal you used for the threaded insert, but it needs to be from the same family as the light alloy used in the lever. Dissimilar metals react with each other, causing galvanic corrosion, so your lever will gradually weaken from the inside, where you can’t see it. Could you please explain the use of the battery? What is the chemical you used and why did you need the strips of metal from the battery? It obviously resulted in a brazing flux, of some sort, but would genuine flux not be cheaper and easier than whatever that was? Or is that something different? Thanks for the video, though. Lots of useful tricks there, for non safety related repairs or for artistic metal work.

galvanic corrosion needs an electrolyte in-between the metals i think to happen. in this case there's no electrolyte in-between(rain for example) and the electrolyte can only contact the aluminum so i don't think there will be a reaction. perhaps a chemist or experimentalist could chime in.

Only moved the costs around. Still had to buy a battery, toilet bowl cleaner, bolt and solder with the only structural part of the repair being the bolt. The solder and homemade flux was just basically filler and faring compound. Personally I just get very cheap low temperature aluminum brazing rods for these repairs which work with the same torch and result in a stronger than steel repair. Somethings are worth pursuing in real life while others are simply entertainment. Best!
@@franciscomorales7012 I worked on projects involving the Shuttle and it wasn't NASA but a SubContractor who messed up QC on the specs. NASA knows metallurgy and the correct flux to use for the best results so would not resort to a questionable and inconsistent flux made by snipping up already compromised alkaline batteries. They would have top notch welders and machinists doing these repairs to impeccable standards that most today still not able match what was done by them over 50 years ago, even with modern computer technology. Best!
@@neilfromclearwaterfl81 He was doing an aluminum repair, NOT a steel repair. And I don't imagine he had to buy a battery, or scrounge for toilet cleaner. We all have junk around the house, which was his inspiration. Make do with what you have. Gawd, you Floridians.

My advice to you is to replace that brake lever before you use the bike again.Hydrochloric acid , over time vastly depletes the inherent strength of cast aluminium, which is what the lever is made of. It's a great method to use ON OTHER, NON-CRUCIAL COMPONENTS.
I think this is a useful skill that can be applied to many repairs. I don't always have the time (or patience) to wait for a new part from Amazon. I am a great believer in fixing and re-purposing things. Our world is getting too disposable for my taste. I've learned how to plastic weld, solder, etc. Thank you for this video. In my opinion, I think this is fixed very well and strong enough to hold up until the bike itself is no longer running. In that case, I'll expect a video from you about building a new motor out of bamboo. Thanks!
Hi, nice to chat with you, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I also believe that repairing and reusing things is not only a useful skill but also a great way to protect the environment.

Best tip I can give anyone new to riding, or especially on the dirt. Loosen of your clutch and brake leavers clamps, this allows the lever to fold up or under. Pick up the bike and just tap it back.

I think if you have a broken brake lever, you should take your car to a repair shop to replace it with a new one. It's fast and safe. Doing it like a video clip is too elaborate, time-consuming, and costs more materials than it would cost for you to replace it with a new one.

what was the whole point of stripping and soaking the battery shell cover bits again? When all you had to do was buy some aluminium welding sticks
...because ordering sticks is not the African way
because sometimes you can't just buy stuff. you're acting like the average privileged westerner
@wizups Let me ask you this. Would you rather gamble and risk your life / the life of another person on a dodgy lever, or walk somewhere in relative safety? There is a third option but we can get into that shortly. I know full well the choice I would make, privileged or not. Its less about privilege and more about not wanting to die or kill someone else. This is unfortunately one of those scenarios where a viewer of this content is either going to agree or disagree with the methods used and the risks involved and frankly anyone who agrees with such methods will not have the sense to see the inherent faults and implications. There is risk involved in everything from tying your shoe laces in the morning and snapping your spine, to jumping off a bridge later in the afternoon. Tying your shoe laces is unlikely to affect anyone else, but the afternoon bridge jump has the potential to involve other people and so questions have to be asked. Its a risk assessment around the potential to injure other people, and this lever repair is just off the scale.
So you just need:
-1,5 battery,
-box cutter,
-pair of pliers,
-metal sheet cutters,
-toiler cleaner with hydrochloric acid,
-vise,
-cordless drill
-Philips bit size 2 and a Phillips head self drilling screw ( if you don't have a drill bit for some reason)
-purple marker,
-angle grinder with metal cutting disc and long M4 screw (if you don't have a taper for some reason),
-screwdriver,
-red marker,
-pair of tweezers,
-cotton wool,
-blowing torch,
-lighter,
-solder wire,
-toothpaste with abrasive,
-buffing wheel for angle grinder,
-sandpaper,
-hammer,
Probably the only think missing here is life insurance if you are going to actually use this hand brake lever, but i'm afraid they won't cover the damage if they find what was done to the lever ...

Closest is that it seems like Tesla used these methods to build the cybertruck. At least from the look of the things.
SERIOUSLY - Pretty damn close - the thin, sheet metal cylinders for exterior of the ("jettisoned") boosters of the Artemis Project rocket are being "friction- welded", rather than TIG, for Alum. alloy.
The thin plates (~ 2mm) are "butt- joined", then 2 flat "pressure pins" of hard steel - each about 15mm (1/2 in) dia. apply pressure, from both sides, then friction - by rotating, at about 200- 300 rpm ( looks like "drill- press" speed ). The sheet metal is slowly fed, perfectly "butted", between the rotating pressure- pins..
- The result is what looks like a perfectly welded, flat sheet, behind the pins (no flux used) only circular marks, to mark the "seam".
- It looks great, the pressure and rotation reach the melting pt. of the Alum. alloy - BUT - these welds have been failing occasionally - Engineers not sure why - so resulting in some serious delays...
- My info is that this is not a "new" welding method - just not been used for rockets before.
i dont know, their budget cant even stretch to fake moon landings these days
I'm sure the folks at NASA are jumping up and down with joy
so you think that this video was made so nasa could use this method do you? well your wrong, nasa actually uses this method already where do you think the science come from dumbass

That is a clever repair. However, if that is a brake actuator, it would be more prudent to replace the part rather than risk failure of the repair.

And now the question remains: How much force can it handle before it breaks? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a brake handle that is very likely to break off again.

They're jelly bean parts anyway, his repair probably cost more to do than to just get a new one.
@@Mmouse_ My thought exactly. Besides that, next time you drop the bike, the receiver will break,costing a lot more than the lever.

The integrity of the fixed lever comes from the steel screw inside. Make it longer, much longer. Also drill larger diameter holes, because it is extremely difficult to place them 0.1mm precision to face each other. If the hole is larger you can fill it with epoxy, push a steel rod in it and align the parts snug, without gap.
Also: this is not welding.
Buy a new one, or just go to a shop where they use argon and really do weld.

Growing up in the projects. We learned to do what it takes to fix stuff instead of running to the store for a new on all the rime. Although the tools he used may have been expensive (some of them) They could have been acquired over time. There's PROUD in repairing and knowing how to repair.

@RandySeverino I don't think he spent much on that stuff. In those parts of the world people know how to help themselves. A neighbor even the man himself probably had this on hand in his home "shop." Maybe he doesn't have $7, and maybe Amazon doesn't deliver where he works. Think about it before you comment.
Clever idea. A few suggestions on how to make it better. First, you left the bluing agent on the joint. It will contaminate the joint so get that off with acetone before brazing and you will get a much stronger joint. Brushing the Al around the crack to take off the oxide layer will also help. Second, while the steel screw trick was a clever way to tap the hole, steel should not be in direct contact with aluminum as it creates a battery of sorts and will corrode; search “galvanic corrosion”. Use an aluminum fastener if you can find one. Finally, there are aluminum brazing rods like Aluxcor that are intended for this purpose and work pretty well.
Personally if I had to reuse the part I would tack it together with a tig welder, grind out a groove on both sides to ensure full penetration, tig weld it, grind and polish. A break lever is a safety item.

Hello, what is the name of that liquid, thank you
@@inventorK20 There are not men that are NASA professors. though the organisation may have professors who work at NASA.
You are not the bright spark . This is the most mishandled metallic cluster that can be presented. Your use of zinc to
enable a bond of sorts between aluminium and solder is a creative thought. But tin and lead do not have the type of strength you need in that application. So you add a threaded bit of steel. You don't teach a professor who works at NASA a single solitary iota yet! more likely a professor who works a NASA tasked with solving this problem might return with an improved shape of the lever cast in 7077 alloy or 6061? Perhaps a billet of such exotic alloy you will be perplexed by the formula, which is then milled to within a rough tolerance around 0.0001" by CNC machinery, that he writes the code for would present a stronger item with no contamination or flaw that also is made to fit much better. If you really believe a native fellow will ride a worn out scooter from the jungles of Asia unable to remain upright on it then breaks the lever off and is subsequently overwhelmed by the prospect of obtaining a new bit from Japan for his 40 year old Honda will then arise to educate an aerospace engineer he calls professor that is a man involved in realities beyond your wildest nightmares, then you my fine feathered friend have got another cluck plucking. operating a camera and editing on the computer though?

The ingenuity here is top level (he made his own tap and uses self-tapping screws as drill bits!), but:
1- I am a bit surprised to see ten fingers, considering the cavalier use of the angle grinder!
2- No "welding" took place here. The mechanical strength is in the insert he embedded in the handle.
3- Why dissolve the battery casing in drain cleaner to make a zinc solution in either acid or base (can't tell which) to clean the brake lever before soldering?
Hello, button batteries, phone batteries... often contain toxic elements such as cadmium, mercury... When rusted or punctured, these substances can leak out.

The liquid mixed with the zinc was hydrochloric acid drain cleaner. That makes zinc chloride, which is used as solder flux.
Not easy
Interestingly I believe that caustic soda also reacts with zinc although it's mentioned in error,, or is it ? I've often made up zinc chloride flux exactly from the battery casings which I always misplace cos I don't label my containers , it's a great flux for stainless steel too. It don't work as a useful flux for aluminium though. But I ain't tried the solution of zinc in caustic soda as a flux .

I agree with other commenters that this is probably unsafe. You should replace the part if you can.
That said, just wanted to correct the video title: this is soldering, not welding. The use of the zinc solution creates a flux compatible with aluminum.
Better to replace it with a steel or titanium part. Brakes are really important.
actually your completely wrong, on both statements, you must be one of those people
This is a good demo of a rework. While appreciating the efforts it is difficult for a normal person with limited tools and no brazing equipment.The above work can be attempted if the part is not available in the market. Otherwise replacement is the best option.
Hello, I am very happy to receive your sharing. You're right, thank you for sharing with us, we look forward to receiving your support in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful Christmas
While this was clever, I’m not sure I’d repair a brake lever, or at least, not by brazing.
Not sure what metal you used for the threaded insert, but it needs to be from the same family as the light alloy used in the lever. Dissimilar metals react with each other, causing galvanic corrosion, so your lever will gradually weaken from the inside, where you can’t see it.
Could you please explain the use of the battery? What is the chemical you used and why did you need the strips of metal from the battery? It obviously resulted in a brazing flux, of some sort, but would genuine flux not be cheaper and easier than whatever that was? Or is that something different?
Thanks for the video, though. Lots of useful tricks there, for non safety related repairs or for artistic metal work.

Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas, you can learn from here: th-cam.com/video/vjx-foc4vws/w-d-xo.html
galvanic corrosion needs an electrolyte in-between the metals i think to happen. in this case there's no electrolyte in-between(rain for example) and the electrolyte can only contact the aluminum so i don't think there will be a reaction. perhaps a chemist or experimentalist could chime in.
Well done. Clever improvising.

Only moved the costs around. Still had to buy a battery, toilet bowl cleaner, bolt and solder with the only structural part of the repair being the bolt. The solder and homemade flux was just basically filler and faring compound. Personally I just get very cheap low temperature aluminum brazing rods for these repairs which work with the same torch and result in a stronger than steel repair.
Somethings are worth pursuing in real life while others are simply entertainment.
Best!

@@franciscomorales7012 I worked on projects involving the Shuttle and it wasn't NASA but a SubContractor who messed up QC on the specs.
NASA knows metallurgy and the correct flux to use for the best results so would not resort to a questionable and inconsistent flux made by snipping up already compromised alkaline batteries. They would have top notch welders and machinists doing these repairs to impeccable standards that most today still not able match what was done by them over 50 years ago, even with modern computer technology.
Best!

My advice to you is to replace that brake lever before you use the bike again.Hydrochloric acid , over time vastly depletes the inherent strength of cast aluminium, which is what the lever is made of. It's a great method to use ON OTHER, NON-CRUCIAL COMPONENTS.
I think this is a useful skill that can be applied to many repairs. I don't always have the time (or patience) to wait for a new part from Amazon. I am a great believer in fixing and re-purposing things. Our world is getting too disposable for my taste. I've learned how to plastic weld, solder, etc. Thank you for this video. In my opinion, I think this is fixed very well and strong enough to hold up until the bike itself is no longer running. In that case, I'll expect a video from you about building a new motor out of bamboo. Thanks!
Hi, nice to chat with you, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I also believe that repairing and reusing things is not only a useful skill but also a great way to protect the environment. I understand that we don't always have time to wait for a new part, and knowing how to solder plastic or tin can really help in many situations. thanks for your interest and sharing, have a nice day
Сверлить отверстия шуропом и нарезать резьбу винтом, это шедевр 😂😂😂
а потом на алиэкспрес продать
Too much work. Then I buy a new brake lever. Simply exchange. And I still have enough time for other things 😊
Hello, nice to chat with you. We look forward to receiving your support in the near future. We wish you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas.
@@inventorK20 Thank you too, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅
@daniel - like dating?
Best tip I can give anyone new to riding, or especially on the dirt. Loosen of your clutch and brake leavers clamps, this allows the lever to fold up or under. Pick up the bike and just tap it back.
Hello, I am very happy to receive your sharing. You're right, thank you for sharing with us, we look forward to receiving your support in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful Christmas
Except under heavy braking the lever will fold upwards losing braking effect. Crash.
that is difficult to do if there are locator pins. I agree that you should leave the perch loose on the handle bar so it can have a chance to possibly avoid breaking in a tip over if I can float Instead of being rigidly clamped
If you also loosen your wheel nuts it will be safer
Bark busters; always the freaking soft sand that would snap them for me...
It's nice to see how you can extend the life of things. The throwaway society is a thing of the past for many reasons and has not shaped good characters either.
Now people are slowly coming around to paying attention to real quality, buying things to last a lifetime and repairing them when necessary instead of throwing them away.
You are a good example of this.
Thank you!
Hi, nice to chat with you, thank you very much! I truly believe that extending the life of objects is not only good for the environment but also helps develop sustainable habits. It's great to see more and more people paying attention to this!, thank you for your interest and sharing, have a nice day

Hello, thank you very much for the information you have brought us, have a nice day
Never heard of aluminium brakes but apparently it's a brake lever, something your life depends upon, so it's vital to have a reliable one, not a repaired one.
Hello, nice to chat with you. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge with us, my friend. We look forward to receiving your support in the near future. We wish you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas.
Yes very common as they are light and quite strong. I had them on my 1960 Lambretta and on a 2003 PX Vespa 200. Very unusual to snap in half usually they bend.
So, this guy claims rocket scientists contacted him, asking for solutions to metallurgy problems at NASA!! I had a good laugh at that one!

I Brock the lever on my bike just like you did. It was an easy fix, for $12.00 from Amazon and got the part next day!
Hello, nice to chat with you. We look forward to receiving your support in the near future. We wish you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas.
Best thing to do,buy a new one
Сколько? 12 баксов за это??? В России на Украине да и во многих странах это дневной заработок многих людей! За такую цену действительно стоило потратить время на ремонт. Вот лучший аргумент в пользу идеи автора!
@@alexanderkislov3129true for third world counties. I make $12.00 every 15 minutes at work, so for me it’s not worth fixing.
Pero hay países como Cuba que no hay nada,que hay que reparar las cosas a como 1 pueda
I'll just buy a new bike.
Công sức thơi gian bỏ ra làm việc đó là vô nghĩa
Mua ngay cái mới
I think if you have a broken brake lever, you should take your car to a repair shop to replace it with a new one. It's fast and safe. Doing it like a video clip is too elaborate, time-consuming, and costs more materials than it would cost for you to replace it with a new one.
Unless you have an antique motorcycle with unobtainable parts
ES LO MAS INUTIL E INSEGURO QUE HE VISTO EN INTERNET ,UNA PIEZA DE SEGURIDAD MUY IMPOETANTE TIENE QUE SER FUNDIDA EN UNA SOLA PIEZA ,PARA SOPORTAR LA PRECION NO LO HAGAN SUMAMENTE PELIGROSO Y POR OTRO LADO ES MUCHO TRABAJO PARA EL COSTE DE ESA PIEZA QUE EXISTE EN CUALQUIER PARTE DEL MUNDO
Hello, thank you very much for the information you have brought to us, have a nice day
i didnt realize nasa was a university.
Тот случай, когда кроме болгарки и шурика ничего нет. Ни сверл, ни метчиков, ни простой паяльной кислоты. Как секрет преподносится изготовления обычной паяльной кислоты (соляная + цинк). Я уже не говорю о сварке по аллюминию. Можно было заварить не снимая ручку с мотика.
Горелка и кастолин 192 и не надо изобретать было велосипед
@@ФедорМелякин Вся суть таких видосов в изобретении велосипеда и подмене результата. Например он напаял бочку из припоя не снимая фасок и не смывая маркер с торцов, а в конце типа сошлифовал ее в ноль до уровня поверхности рычага, тоесть по сути снял все, что было напаяно. Но щели при этом нет.
@@ФедорМелякин Сразу понятно человек живёт на окраине. В городе можно просто обратится к специалисту кто ремонтирует холодильники или компрессоры, у него есть возможность варить алюминий или дюраль. Алюминиевый материал проволока сейчас довольно хрупкая не качественная.
It's awesome new way to weld together ❤️

Always a way to fix something rather than throw it away being doing it myself for years.👍
Hello, thank you very much for sharing your nice comments with us. I am very happy and look forward to receiving your support in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful Christmas.
Gluing a broken off break lever is the dumpist thing i ever seen in my life!
Just the satisfaction of repairing something is better than buying new part..Modern technicians nolonger waste time on repairs...the labour costs are sometimes more than a new part...
@@inventorK20Happy Hanukah. Out here on the perimeter . We use the short lever and throw that other bit in the scrub.
SpaceX called- Elon would like you to pack your bags and fly down to Texas to teach his team this technique.
Wow, if SpaceX invites me, it will be an interesting journey! I will not only teach engineering but also learn how they work to bring technology to the next level. Hope I can make a positive impact on Elon's team!, thank you for your interest and sharing, wish you a good day
NASA is not a school. Do they have professors?
After watching this video , i am planning to buy new break lever
Hello, nice to chat with you, thank you for your interest and sharing, my good friend, have a nice day💖 💖 💖
If it takes three hours of your time you may as well got to work and earn £45 then just buy a lever from e Bay for £10

Next time sand off the oxide layer on the aluminum first
Thanks for your feedback! Next time I will pay more attention, make sure to clean the oxide layer before proceeding for best results! 😊

Hello, nice to chat with you again, my good friend, what work are you doing now, do you like it? I really like the work I do, because it gives me the opportunity to meet people, learn extremely valuable knowledge so I can improve myself and wish you and your family good health.
Sim, fenomenal, ele gastou uns 500R$ em peças e equipamentos pra fazer o reparo de uma manete de freio que custa menos de 5R$ nova...
Now you have a brake lever that you can never trust to save your life.
Buy a used lever for a few cents and fit it in minutes.
Edit... That is about the worst dislike to like ratio I have ever seen. 21k likes, 15k dislikes.
Hello, nice to chat with you. You are a good person. Especially what you share is related to our own safety. Thank you for your comments. We look forward to receiving your support in the future. Thank you and best wishes. The best to you and your family. Best wishes Merry Christmas dear friend
But how can you see his likes and dislikes?😮
@@HildeMeijer-w7n I have an app that brings dislikes back. Why don't you google it?
Probably the "Return TH-cam Dislike" Add-On for Mozilla. I have it, too, and appreciate it a lot, although admittedly, I don`t know how correct it works. (The current ratio for this video is 28k up, 21k down, so that looks like it is in line with 21-15).
The dislikes are still there somewhere in the code, just not visible. The add-on extracts them and makes them show again. @@HildeMeijer-w7n
How do you see the 15K dislikes? I can see the video now has 29K likes, but for me youtube quit showing dislikes years ago.
I started repairing brake levers just like this. Soon I was doing it as a job. It only takes about 4.5 hours for each one and I was able to charge $15 dollars for each one I repaired.
Hello, thank you for sharing, have a nice day
Thanks for sharing knowledge
The next day, the part broke an inch further down and it was thrown in the bin.
А я дурак приварил аргонной сваркой за 5 минут! Нужно было тоже день потратить, помучиться 😄
Пять минут это недоделанное создание занималось черти чем. А потом выяснилось, что у него есть припой по аллюминию.
Это ШЕДЕВР!

Or, stay with me on this, you could go purchase a $9 brake handle from your local dealer. Unless you prefer going around your ass to get to your elbow.
Uma boa ideia que pode servir para diversos outros casos!
