I love break noise, it's the best way to let someone know you're trying to pass
It is affective for that! 😉
One of my favorite channels.
Thanks Tom!
"You'll be going 20 MPH with no brakes"
I don't need any kind of product to make that mistake! Going to give this stuff a shot on my own fat tire bike. Thanks for the video!
I wouldn’t want you to find out the hard way! Good luck with your brakes. If I were to do it again I would go more than a half dozen times… maybe ten, just to make sure it does the job.
I bought the plug and play hydraulic disc brakes for $40 a pair and put them on my Cruiser and my wife's Step Through. I didn't notice any better stopping like many people report but just as good as before the switch but no squeaking and I like the idea of both pads moving into the rotor instead of just one.
ok, good feedback.
Can I ask which cable actuated hydraulic calipers you chose?
That does look like a nice bike. I think when my Himi dies I may have to get one. Hope they sell them in Europe.
So many options out there, we love our ebikes!
I've used SquealOut. It can work but it doesn't work all the time, especially when there's a definite mechanical issue the SquealOut can't resolve. I suggest trying all other methods first to stop the brakes from squealing. What he's saying about getting oils from your hands and skin on the calipers and pads is important. Clean, clean, clean.
Great feedback and tips, thx!
Hey Tim. What stool are you using? I have been wanting something like that but can only find ones rated for 250lbs. I’m a big boy!
This one say it only holds 250lbs as well. But I am 300lbs and have had it since 2015. The wheels take a beating, but I figure they can be replaced.

So is it mandatory for someone to have to take apart the brakes and all what you done because I have no idea how to and I just purchased this product for my e-bike?
You really do have to remove the brake pads to properly clean them after using this. You can check out this video on how to replace the pads, it will help you understand how to disassemble and reassemble them.

it’s not a hard process. It’s a good idea to wear nitrile gloves and clean the pads with isopropyl alcohol.
I hope this helps!
@@TinkeringTurtle I’m a girl lol but I’ll try my hardest thank you for the information and the videos it’s highly appreciated
OR....you can buy a $40 set of hybrid XTECH hydraulic brakes (which use your existing cables) that never squeak ...because the very design of those CHEAP Tektro aires brakes where only 1 pad actually moves is causing the vibration and rotor distortion. Trust me...you''ll be doing that entire procedure again and again if you keep those brakes. Yeah it worked for a while, but....well you'll see. Do yourselves a favor and get brakes where the rotors are not distorted (BOTH pads move in unison) and not only will your brakes never squeak again, but they will actually stop better.
Not really the point of the video, but I appreciate the feedback!
That is how floating calipers work
It looks like valve lapping paste. Probably without the lubricant and a "bike" sticker only on it to jack the price.
Probably a good assessment. The container is lasting a long time and it works wonders on minor squeals that are not associated with too much contamination. Thanks for the comment!
@@TinkeringTurtle No problem I have a rear brake that squeels like crazy. I've cleaned the rotors and pads, cleaned and sanded the pads. Everything. I may try this product as you are right you only have to apply a very small amount to the rotor. Literally just use clean gloves and your fingers to spread a little on there. If it's anything like valve lapping paste you only need a very small amount.
@Chris Sinclair , I will say I have a front brake on one of my bikes that is a problem. I have cleaned it a bunch and it still builds up contamination and squeals. I will work with it some more than I think I will try a new caliper. I am not certain where the oils is coming from. This product will not help that…
Good luck, let me know how it goes!
@@TinkeringTurtle Can it be a leaky cable. I had to replace the oil in mine. It was a very slurping experience 😀
Always a possibility
Could be from warped brake disc
Its a possibility, but typically I have found that once the pads are smooth and parallel then the noise goes away.
This stuff is nothing more than rubbing compound. I too wasted $20.00 on it. It does work somewhat, but, after using it you still have to disassemble the brakes and do a regular cleaning job. So, why bother with it?
Fair enough. I can say, with one exception, it has worked on the brakes that a cleaning wouldn’t fix. The exception I had to replace the caliper before the squeak went away. I am assuming the caliper wasn’t working correctly.
Appearantly this stuff is no longer available anywhere.
ya, I’m not seeing it anywhere. Have you tried removing the pads and cleaning them (and the rotor) with isopropyl alcohol?
Many times this will also get rid of a squeal. I had one bike I had to do it several times, but in the end the squeal went away.
@@TinkeringTurtle I'll give it a try. Thanks.
