    What do you think causes a slow or weak release? Brake spring in highest tension and cable is free

    Do disk brakes need less or more maintenance than V brakes? Are adjustments on disk brakes just as "easy" as V brakes? Thanks

    Wooden floor is very distractive. Or else place cycle in such position that lines of wooden floor bring attention in not out.

    Thanks for this, it gave me the confidence to adjust my 4 year old twins new bikes. The brake levers were so far from the handlebars they can barely reach them, let alone actually brake with them. I've now brought the levers in, reduced the spring tension, and lengthened the brake cables to compensate. Usually you want to tighten brakes :)

  • @yeong126

    In my case one side of the brakes dragged the rim so I went for the spring tension screw adjustment. Later I found out it didn't do anything because the tip of the spring inside the brake was bent out so the screw just slipped away. I took apart of the brake then bent the tip of the spring inward so it can engage with the screw. Now I'm very happy to fix this annoying problem!

    The best video, can be a bit slower and just a couple of better angle ( spring part and cable screw adjustment. This video could be broken in to two if it was a slower follow along . Yet this Is The Best Video I have seen! And I have watched and search a lot.👍💯
