This is the best method I've seen for bleeding brakes on the S3 and X3. Bravo! Genius idea to lay the bike down at just the correct angle to make the top of the reservoir perpendicular to gravity. The design with the bleed port on the bottom is so strange. Thank you so much for creating this video!
The lever of my rear brake (S3) almost didn't work anymore (was able to pull it up to the handle and only slowed down instead of really braking). Opened the reservoir and noticed that it was only half full. Started the procedure as shown in your video, but even after 15 minutes, there was no change in the lever's behavior (but I was able to see the bubbles, like in your video). Decided to stop, filled the reservoir to the top (as shown by you), put back the screws and suddenly it seemed to work - so maybe it was only because of the half full reservoir? Anyway, thanks for your video! 😀
When you unscrew the hose near the break lever you open the circuit so the liquid flows till the brake pads. By screwing it you close the circuit by making the lever pump piston longer (so more pressure to the oil)
@@SimoneCaf1 ok, thanks for the hint! In the meantime (like 2 months ago), I exchanged the rear brake "pads" (?) with new ones - the old ones were on metal already, hehe.
TIP TO EVERYONE: Many users complain because when pulling the liquid with the syringe, the liquid does not flow out. The reason is that the circuit is closed by the lever pump piston! In order to open it you should unscrew the small hose that is between the brake hand lever and the handlebar! Do like 3-4 anti clockwise turns and keep pumping with the lever. If it’s soft, you can decide to use the syringe (this time liquid will flow down) or simply open the liquid box close to the lever and put the liquid from the top. Once done, you can calibrate the lever hardness by screwing (clockwise) the same hose so it will make the lever cilinder longer and able to make more pressure. I did not remove the handlebar but I positioned the bike in a way to have the liquid container parallel to the floor. I feel it’s very easy approach and less prone to damaging cables. Hope it helps everyone.

thank you for your comment!
this is actually not really the bleeding method but it really works to adjust the brakes;)

Thank you sir!! You’re a champion!! ありがとうございます！
Thanks a lot for the video! My front brakes are working again! ❤️
good to hear that!

ありがとうございます。参考になりました😌🫶
自分でやってみます！
大変参考になります。ありがとうございます。この工具はどちらのでしょうか？
教えて下さいませ。

did you mix the hydraulic oil you used in this video with the original hydrualic oil of the vanmoof bike?
Do you know
明けましておめでとうございます。
私もブレーキがあまくなってきたので参考になりました。
ありがとうございます。🍹ソーダ割もしてみます🤣
鎌倉へは一泊で行ってきました。（片道80km）
5000円くらいの素泊まりもありますし、稲村ヶ崎温泉♨️がお気に入りです。
鶴岡八幡宮〜江ノ島ライドは気持ち良かったです。☀️🌊🗻
帰りは「西武多摩川線」のサイクルトレインを利用してみました。（折りたたみしなく輪行）
「是政駅」側の♨️も良かったですね。
なかなか利用する機会はないかと思いますが、ご参考までに。
稲村ヶ崎温泉は何度か前通って気になってました❕♨️
西武多摩川線のサイクルトレイン全く知りませんでしたが、そんなのがあるんですね。。この手のが増えたら電車と自転車の組み合わせで、より遠くへ楽しく行けますね(^.^)
この間パンクしたんですけど、まーー大変でしたね！
まずx3なんですがタイヤチューブの24インチのサイズが特殊らしくどこにも置いてなくてネットで探してようやく１つ確保した感じです
よりによって後輪だったので外すだけでも一苦労さらにタイヤが死ぬほど硬くて外れない、付けれない…
vanmoofは最高の自転車ですけどストアが近くにないとやっぱりしんどいですねw
それは災難でしたね😅 でもなんとかなってよかったです(^.^)
電子系統がイカれたらホントに凹みますよね〜
私も一度パンクしました。（空気があまく不注意で）
たまたま近くに自転車屋さんがあったので
1000円でパンク修理してもらいました。
いずれタイヤ交換は、自分でしなくちゃいけないので
半日は覚悟してます。😅
I see the bubbles go out but I doesnt seem to get any tighter. Any idea???
Had you a better method?
@@TheVexodia for me the only way that works was to use a syringe and bleed it like most bikes with hydraulic brakes
drive.google.com/file/d/1_-Ol3poitL4-nbE0oImRSoGBQsptHD8G/view have a look at his
@@daanhoogenkamp7338 ooh thanks do you know where i can find a Syringe with the correct fitting
Been doing this for 30 minutes and my break lever is not getting any tighter…😢
Were you able to fix it?
Na endlich, fielen dank aus Deutschland ( Sachsen Anhalt) !
Can't get those bubbles out! :(
