This video has good mechanical advantage.
Best cantilever adjustment video on youtube. Period.
Yup
It's all a ploy to sell you more tools
So you get great education free ! You OWE them your business
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.
*AND good mechanical advantage.
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!
This is the "Citizen Kane" of cantilever smooth post videos.
This might as well be the best video on the internet. It turned dark magic into a reasonable sequence of steps. mind==blown
Wow, what a perfect instructional video. I spent years to learn this stuff - I wish I had this video 10 years ago! Calvin, you're the Don! And big Kudos to the camera handler.
This is one GREAT video!! I just took all my brake assembly’s off my Specialized mountain bike, then cleaned, lubed & adjusted per your video. Was very easy. Please keep uploading videos. Very intuitive. Greatly appreciated. Thanks
The Park Tool videos are precise and thorough I learn and improve with each instruction. Thanks guys.
The best bike mechanic's tutorial on CZcams!!
Could never get it right😮 thanks man; if you do it in this order, you can't miss.
This video demystifies brake adjustments on my bike. Thanks!
Agree, best cantilever vid anywhere. Tells you all you need to know in clear, easy to understand steps. Many thanks to the person in vid and Park Tools.
Thank you Park Tool- I had watch this video a few times and attempt the adjustment a few times. With some persistence, I was able to perform the fix.
The video for which I've waited my whole life. Thank you Calvin. I love you.
I'm new to DIY bike repair, and this video series is excellent, with exactly the right amount of detail. Thanks!
These videos are so helpful. Thank you!
man this was so helpful thank you!! i just got a canti bike the other week and had a few braking issues. this video was a perfect walk through of addressing each issue and now they feel as good as my disk brake systems.
Was about to give up on my old MTB, but this video made me believe again. Thank you!
I think I can actually do this!! Thanks for taking the time to make such a succinct professional video about something as important as brakes. I live in Seattle and its all hills.
This video is perfect. Exactly what I needed to see before changing by brake cables and pads. I was not sure what to do, this video solved that. My brake job was a success! Thanks!
so much work has gone in to making this tutorials. It's a really great resource for people world wide, thank you Park Tools and whoever worked to create all these videos.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent video. Great explanations of the how and why, and very good camera angles to easily see what is being talked about and being done.
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!!!!
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
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!
i bought an old bike on ebay and i never saw those Cantilever brakes before. Fixing them gave ma a headache until i found this video. Thanks a lot
Got to jump on the thumbs-up crowd on this one; very informative, helpful and simple... all good!
I've never built a bike before and now I've decided to do it as a project with money I get from helping out. Without this guy I would have never know how to do this.
Great work. Thanks so much!! Working on an old bike my dad gave me and this answers all questions.
Your videos are always the most informative!!! Thank you guys so much
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, $25 new grips, some WD-40 and 3-in-1, ready to roll!
Also, kudos to the camera op who knew when to nudge the focus.
Very useful in adjusting the canti brakes on my bike. Thanks.
After recently buying an old MTB for restoration, this vid has come in handy. Been riding discs for too long 😂.
Thank you so much, I was up until 11:40 messing with my brakes. I took them off to tuneup and couldn’t get them back on right. I’m gonna try this tomorrow morning
Best cantilever video explanation. Thanks @ParkTool
Superb. Clear instructions delivered in a very approachable manner.
There are a lot of adjustments for these kind of brakes which baffled me until I saw this video. Thanks!
Just saved myself a decent chunk of change...thanks Calvin. You're the best-EST.
As a school teacher you get an A+ for this outstanding video. Thank you very much for a job well done. I have watched this video 2 times now as I forgot to take notes ; ).
This is actually amazing, thank you so much!
Brilliant video Kevin. Definitely going to set mine up properly on my Tourer tomorrow now.
Really helpful, as are all your videos. Thanks a lot.
You are the best, i have a super old bike and it has this old school cantilever breaks. You made my day
I bought a beautiful touring bike used with cantilever brakes. The stopping power was so bad and I have zero experience with them. Your tutorial has changed my bike to a powerful stopper now. Quite literally you may have saved my life, thank you for making this!
amazing explanations, great video! thank you very much
08mp, 11.50mp: már el is bszta: a gumiba ér a fékpofa. 80$ szerszám + gumik leszerelése (ilyet se láttam még)! Bravo...
A 12 éves unokahúgom 10 perc alatt megcsinálja mind a két kereket.
Thanks, Park Tool! Love your instructions and products!
Nothing on YT come close to how good you demonstrate.
👍 now able to refurbish a greater range of bikes without converting to linear pull brakes, thanks Park Tool
👍
Thank you for explaining, how to adjust the spring tension.
Thanks. You did a great job with this.
La meilleur vidéo de réglage Cantilever du web, Merci !!
Great Video. Well explained. Professionally Done 👍🏽
Thank you very much for your videos, I've learned a lot with them.
No video as professional, demonstrative, and sophisticated like this one. Thank you so much.
Excellent video and I now know how to set up my canti's properly.....what a difference, thanks.
I just got into bikes and am fixing one now. This is the perfect video !!!!
Wonderful! U solved my problem on my Hoo Koo E Koo. Thanks
Absolutely the best brake video on CZcams!
Very good explanation. Thanks !
Love this video, such a good explanation.
No more finer instructions could you get. Thank you Sir. Peace be unto you.
Wonderful video. Thank you a lot
Thanks a lot for this. It has turned a bunch of guesswork with dubious results, into an easy to follow procedure with great results. Now I need to be careful not to faceplant with this greatly improved brake efficiency…
So clear - thank you
Great video! I could adjust my bike's cantilever brakes without any problem
Best service instruction . Super :). THX
Holly Molly that was really helpful great job guys! 👍👍
Damned! I've had endless frustration with those levers for years and only now I stumbled upon this video. Followed its steps on the bike and was done in 5 minutes. 😔
Now you have one more subscriber on this channel. 😏
A big BIG help. Thanks
Great tutorial, thanks man 👍
Thank you, great explanation. Just done my old bike.
Thanks a heap, solved my problems
These videos are awesome!
Excellent video !!
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 !
Thank you very much for your precize video.
Thank You! Great!
Good series
Outstanding!
I watch it thoroughly and realized that I was wrong. thank you.
Calvin, you da man, thanks !!!
Great video thanks.
This video should be #1 on IMDB
Well done!
Very well explained! Thank you very much :o)
Great, thanks for the help.
demais .... tudo explicado detalhadamente..... parabéns já me inscrevi
Liked and subbed thanks!
1000x thank you!👍
good and simple explain.....
EXCELLENT!
Omg 🙌 thank you!
I wish your bike all the best.
Thank you very much!
What an awesome video thank you! When installing brakes should the centering screw be half way screwed in when starting everything? I have brakes out of sorts and was not sure if I should start by putting centering screw half way in and THEN readjusting cable tensions etc? thanks!
