    Best cantilever adjustment video on youtube. Period.

  • @Cpresoz
    @Cpresoz Před 3 lety +50

    I watch this video every time I work on my bikes. I watch it sometimes when I'm not even working on a bike. Absolutely the most clear and reassuring video that always leads to a perfect install.

    I was going insane adjusting the brakes on a used Cannondale F500 CAD2 I purchased recently at a garage sale for only $35. The bike is in like-new condition, but someone along the line put the rear brakes together wholly wrong. This excellent video showed me exactly how it went together, and in what order to adjust it. After three hours of frustration, got on CZcams and watched this video and NAILED IT on my first attempt. I should have watched this in the first place. Our son is moving into his dorm for his first year of college tomorrow, and this video saved the day for me. Many thanks...now I can finally load up the bike up and send him to school!

    That rusted tension bolt is driving me crazy. Best canti setup video ever. I do some bike workshops for kids and always ask myself how would Calvin explain it.

  • @planetstarbucks2348
    @planetstarbucks2348 Před 5 lety

    Just want to say thanks for posting this and the other brake repair videos. I just replaced the pads and cables on my old bike and I'd have been completely lost without this.

  • @romimat.2319
    @romimat.2319 Před 3 lety

    Thank you for your detailed professional explanation. Cantilever brakes are nearly extinct in Japan where I live. My 1990 MTB needs break adjustments, but I found that it was hard to find a right shop to leave my bike for such adjustments. I'll watch this video many times and try to adjust the brakes by myself.

  • @paulacoutinho6871

    @stevevisek7422 Před 2 lety +1

    I've acquired quite a few Park Tools over the years but never knew about your videos. I've watched 10 or 12 in the last few days and they're excellent! I've been trying for years to get my cantis to work right and never been satisfied..........until I saw your video. Thanks!!!!

  • @MrTheRabber
    @MrTheRabber Před 3 lety +2

    Pazzesco! This is just awesome! I did have to go for English video on cantilever cause there were none good in Italian. It is extremely clear and informative, one of the most entertaining and engaging video I've ever seen. I feel like I'd become a bike technician

  • @KillSwitchNY
    @KillSwitchNY Před 4 lety

    Amazingly detailed video. I am mechanically inclined with cars but I just picked up an old Diamondback mountain bike with the stradle style cantilever and I was lost. This video is going to save me alot of time!

    Got a free bike from somebody's driveway (had a 'take me home!' sign on it).
    Inspected all the things, watched this.
    $12 for new pads, $25 new grips, some WD-40 and 3-in-1, ready to roll!
    Also, kudos to the camera op who knew when to nudge the focus.

    Excellent. Just wish those assclowns at my LBS had bothered to share this knowledge with me 25 years ago. I believe bike mechanics shouldn't try to hide their knowledge. If they showed you how to do repairs, they could still make a living selling tools and parts. The internet is the great equalizer !
