Just got hold of a diamond back grind from my neighbour who was throwing it away. Nothing wrong with it, giving it a once over and gifting to my nephew. Never touched a bmx before so thanks for the video bro 👍 appreciate it
Dude I found a bike on ice and took it home but I have never worked on that type of break you made one thing get checked off my list of things to do for it
I installed the Speingfield and well hard to describe but one of the pads are further away from the rim then the other one that are closer. My non professional conclusion is that my rim isnt centered, however after changing to a 28T sprocket i cant get it more center then what it is because then the chain tension is way to much, it way to tight. Anyway i can brake so it isnt really a problem for now. I watched your clip installing the Spreingfield, only difference from you is that my install took like 3,5 hours =D
Also make sure the the two connectors at the end of the brake cable are properly connected to the brake claws haha ! (i simply rotated them, before they were on the wrong side and now my springfields will work fine hopefully) #nosqueekyshizzlefornow
I have everything on Rob but my brakes and the two hooks hook on the brake and when i go to put those two hooks in the brakes it just falls out and my cable has stray metal wire but works and i did everything you said but those two hooks keep falling out because it doesn’t hook on like yours does
I'm having a hard time picturing it. if you want, you can send a picture to rob@basementbikeshop.com. it might be that your cable is returning faster than your brakes. it could be that your brake is hanging up or there is not enough tension on your springs. or something wrong with the straddle cable connection.
I was wondering how I can fix the brakes not halting the wheel to a complete stop (like it won't leave black lines if I would be speeding and grab the lever it just slows the back wheel but not to a complete stop) If you could assist with this it would be amazing, thanks in advance!
Thanks bro, one brake wasnt moving and thanks to you i can now ride again
Me too

Do you have a video about front U brake problems? My son has the Odyssey Springform and I can't figure out how to adjust it.

What if the non pad end of one side keeps rubbing the crank? I can’t figure out how to adjust it away

If it feels like there is enough pressure but the wheel just isn't stopping, try cleaning your rims with simple green or windex.
thx
My bottom caliper arm rubs on the seat stay 🤷🏻♂️
I have the first problem but on the other wheel
The first part you check is the lever then cable then brake itself .your instructions to install brakes do not cover sanding and lubing the posts
I have different type of u break
It almost is like my hanger is too long
YOU DIDNT ADJUST THE BRAKE ????
