You have such a knack for explaining concepts very clearly, thank you for making this video for us!
Great advice. I see tons of people never bed their brakes.
Thanks for the info. It would be nice if the bike shop would tell me about this. Another youtuber taught a different way, but this makes alot more sense!
I did this when I got my 29er. First experience with disk brakes...also hydraulic. They still seem to work great almost 2 years later.
Thanks for the short instructional video.
scenery in background - nice...
Ya, huh? Utah?
Learned something new. Thank you! I'm going to come back to this video when I get my new bike
Thanks for showing this, I actually used to do that at first but I stopped. I’ll do this on my next set of new rotors.
Thank you! I thought my brakes were damaged or something, but they started to get better and better.
i got confused watching other bed in videos then I saw Hardtail Party, and I clicked immediately, and now i know, and knowing is half the battle
Wish I had watched this before spending an hour climbing/descending a small hill to bed in the brakes.
Didn’t know that I could do it in a carpark as well
Thank you for sharing this is a good tip just got my F series today.
That background landscape is beautiful
Good video, Steve. Most people don't do this, so it's solid advice to make this little PSA about it - definitely gets all the power possible out of whichever brakes you dump your money on.
P.S. I tried to send you an email via your website, but I'm not sure if it's working/if you have that functionality turned off.
A perfect video on beding the disc brakes
I'm geting so frustrated bc i do this and it goes well but when i hop on the next day its back to square 1
Thank for the info you made it easy to understand
Thanks for posting this.
Question: can I still bed in the brakes on my new Tallboy if it’s been used a few times on the trail?
I had no idea about bedding them, had them bled which helped but they’re still way too spongy!
-thanks
Yes, as long as the rotor and pads are 100% clean
@@hardtailparty thanks I’ll give it a shot. They should be clean. If not, do you know if I can I spray auto brake cleaner on them?
@@davids6652 Worst case if it doesn't work;
You can clean the pads / rotor with isopropanol or brake cleaner. Sand the pads and rotors (fine paper, very lightly just to clean off that thin layer).
Re-clean it and make sure it's all evaporated. Then assemble and re-bed. Apparently if you take some water on the pads, then rub them together before drying off and assembling. Then adding some water on the pads while bedding, it supposedly goes way quicker. GMBN Tech and some other bigger channels said this. Can't confirm that last one with water as I've not tried it myself.
@@JamieR good to know thanks
On my bike the back breach is a v break and my front is a disk and it squeaks would doing this help my front break ?
I've done Motorsports up to Formula 4 for, in a whole 11 years. I've bedded in numerous brake pads and was always interested the technical sides of the car.
But somehow I never asked why brake pads get "glassy" from too much heat and what the process actually does.
Thank you for clearing that up 😂
Very nice video
Nice teaching I’d like to know how long you let the brakes cool down.
@@edwardlove4300 about 30-60 seconds
@@hardtailparty thank you. 🥳
thank you for the tutorial!
Does this apply to new brake pads on used rotors as well?
Yes
Good valuable explanation, thx!:)
Thank you! I just order new front brake for my hardtail :) (I'm wondering, if I need to change the disc or maybe just clean it with alcohol...)
No need to change it. Provided it is straight and doesn't have any dents/dings in it.
I would definitely recommend scrubbing it with steel wool and rubbing alcohol to remove the old pad material (especially if it has glazed onto it). I do this every time I get new pads.
Are your pads rubbing when the brakes are off? You may need to re-center your caliper. Also, did you switch to metallic pads, or are they both organic pads?
@Skots Trails I'd try rinsing your brake pads (while still on the bike), and cleaning the rotor. Some pads make more noise than others. Metallic pads can sound a little more "gritty" than organic pads.
So if I bought a new bike with discs and mechanical brakes. Will the brakes get better by itself when rising?
Yes, but if you follow this procedure they'll get even better.
It sounds so weird hearing that bedding brakes in will cause a, “nice...sticky-smooth surface” but it makes sense in practice
that was a clean outro
Are you holding the brakes while pedalling or only holding brakes whilst free riding, In fact does that even matter?
while pedalling
Does it work if I bed thempedaling by hand I have my bike upside down
Only if you grease your rotors first.
I'm thinking of upgrading from my kona mahuna to a norco fluid fs 3, but I tested it out at the bike shop, and the brakes are terrible. When I say that, I mean if I only had one finger on the brake levers I can't stop. How much of a difference does bedding them in do? I don't think that its just bedding them in, because most people say that the brakes on it aren't that great. Any thoughts? Thanks
Bedding brakes is super important. Brand new bikes need to be bedded in.
@@hardtailparty ya, but when I got my kona mahuna it wasn't nearly this bad. The brakes on the norco fluid fs 3 are made by some company called tektro. What do you think?
What’s does it mean to drag your brakes?
gently hold it so it's partly engaged
Are you supposed to do this with new rotors or pads or only when both are replaced?
All of the above.
Jeez now i know why my brakes sound awful after changin them pads from metalic to resin
It doesnt look like the brakes are being applied at all. Isnt that too soft
After bedding in my rotors and pads. If i clean the rotors with the alchol spray do i need to re bed them in?
Most likely not, unless you completely scrubbed them with steel wool.
@@hardtailparty Thankyou for that
@@hardtailparty what should I do if I didn't know how I should bed then in? I only changed pads. Had organics and put organics again
A bit late, but does this apply to new rotors but old pads?
Yes
👍
Bed my brakes ? How about go to bed because I'm tired
This is the advice people on TH-cam need 😩😩😴
Hey does this technique work if you are just replacing the brake pads? Or do I need to do it with new rotors as well?
Any time you get new rotors you should do it. Also, if you change brake pads from one type or brand to another, I recommend doing it again. It takes 5 minutes and makes a big difference.
hardtail party if I switch from resin to metallic pads should I lightly scuff the rotors to start fresh with bedding in the metallics?
@@jasonneff913 it's good to clean the rotor.
can't you or the shop do this on a stand?
No
DO NOT watch the GMBN video on this. The advice is awful and you can shred your pads following their advice. Watch this video instead :)
