Let's wait for all the comments saying, brake pads are cheap and should replace them! Just for context, I made this video during the COVID lockdowns, where it is so difficult to find parts. I just bought this bike and I just want to ride it. It's been more than a year, and I am still riding with the same set of brake pads. So hope this helps, because I looked at several videos and this is what worked. Thanks for watching.
@nonspecificnonsense6780 There are lots of different sizes. You should just take one of the pads off, then take it into the bike shop, and then they should be able to give you the new ones.
If you are going to heat the pads up like that make absolute sure that you get all of the break cleaner off first because break cleaners are no joke if you breathe any in
Be careful sanding like that, you'll get high and low spots. You should drag the sandpaper against the disc as the wheel is spinning. Gives a much more uniform surface. Bonus if you use a sanding block
You say it as if it was just pouring water on the pads and rotors then you're good to go when in reality if you do this with regular soap you'll become part of the asphalt or trail that you're riding in. It's important to use the apropriate products and ensure that everything is resurfaced and decontaminated (not "cleaned") properly. One thing that's bad about this short is that he doesn't say what grit he used, wich is important because if you go too coarse you'll damage your rotors, and if you go too fine you'll polish the surface and the pads won't bite properly anymore, meaning that there's not enough friction for them to heat up and deposit the coat on the rotors that actually grips the pads (wich is the reason why pads need to be beded in)
1. Find a steep hill 2. Roll down applying brakes until they fade and a bit more The heat will burn off contaminants and your brakes will be good as new when they cooled down. Tip: Only do one brake at a time so you can stop using the other.
From my personal experience, that is a TERRIBLE idea, it has worked for me to do it over a prolonged period of time but it's almost impossible to do that in a singular run. If your brakes heat up enough to do that in a singular go you need larger rotors ASAP before brake fade straight up MURDERS you, because if you're unprepared it will. Please do not take brake health lightly.
@@johntheman2006it works if you just need to bed them in. The heat won’t remove contaminants so it’ll just glaze the pads. This process in video is great though except you need to bed them before shredding
Remove the rotor. Clean with brake cleaner. Rub down if you really want to. Clean off the caliper with brake cleaner and wipe dry. Install new pads. Break in pads. Shred
Just buy some isopropyl alcohol/ rubbing alcohol spray on a cloth/cotton wipe your disc done , sand the disc a little bit then clean the pads and don't freaking touch your brake disc our skin is oily and thus contaminate the disc
@@BrentsShop clean and sand them, after that you need to "bed in" the breaks by repeating several (20x) accelerations with moderate breaking to increase temperature and then making full hard stops (10x). Let t cool down and it will be good to go.
Idk about using all those extra chemicals. Just spray and wipe the discs down with iso, sand the pads down with a fresh piece of 180, and for the love of god make sure you bed them properly.
I have done that and it's amazing to see people freak out from the bike lane when you're just chillin slow, brake a little and see them react like a truck is moving at 9000 MPH towards them. Even funnier when they're being jackasses walking on the bike lane and they don't hear you coming, 8/10 times they jump back to the sidewalk inmediately

@@halfglassfullto be clear, it is NOT DW40, it was made by the same brand. Do NOT use WD40 on your brakes, it will be your first, and your last time doing it
u cant fix contaminated brake pads for ever. u can fix them for a while then u will wear them until the clean part is gone and sounds will come back again. buy new brake pads and be careful next time.
I tried this method 20yr ago and it only last a few min . If you are low on cash, try it but it was easier to just get new pad and clean the rotor really well.
Yeah, that was the plan until we can buy replacement pads (out of stock everywhere at that time). But forgot about it and still using the same set of pads 1 year later.

Guys...today my brakes locked up and made me skid really dangerously and that shook me up real bad..any fixes? My pads are new Shimano Resin pads..same as the original. Thanks.
Is lines going around the disc fine? The disc on my cheap wheelset has them but going to use for a while to lose weight then go back to my lightest wheelset
Oh, I would check the brake pads to make sure it still have plenty of material. It shouldn't have any lines on it that you can feel with your finger nails.
I once touched my front disc brake after braking down a very steep street to see how hot they get. Answer: Really, really, really hot. Don't ask me why.
I ride in San Francisco, and most of the time I ride down really steep streets and get up to 35mph sometimes. I knew the discs were hot one day and decided to quickly touch the ridge of the disk and it was definitely hot 😅
I had to redo the brake cleaner soak like 3x before I completely get rid of the squeaking and got the full power back. If you can easily find a new set of pads, that's probably easier.
I think you made it a bit more complicated than it has to be. Scrub the pads and rotors with dish soap mixed with water than rinse and wipe them off. Then get any remaining contaminants off with isopropyl alcohol.
I feel the soap also would absorb into the pads leaving less friction in the end. But i dont think he had to soak them either, but rather a wipe of the stuff to conserve
You should never use dish soap on the brake pads. Spirit is the best things to clean. You can soak in it. And change your pads to the resin one, never squiks to me.
@@vladivanov7645resin pads are silent yes, but the people that this video is directed at will most likely not ride anything that isn't sinthetic, resin or organic.

Do you use regular car brake cleaner? Or is there a special formula for bikes

Simple green.
do you need to take off your wheel to take out the brake pads? one more question. how can you tell what pads go to a certain disc
Yeah, you need to. And you have to search the pads based on which brakes you have.
Well, alternatively you can dismount the caliper from the fork

Just use dish soap and a stiff brush, then do some big stops and itll cook it off
does it work if i Have WD40 on my brakes? i was removing a bolt thst wsd so rusted you cant imagine and i used it but it went in brakes
