Doesn't help you do what the fuck you need to do, shows completily fucking different thing , make videos that actually partake to FRONTAL breaks. Not rear 🖕🖕🖕

THIS IS NOT FUCKING REAR BREAKS WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS SHOW UP WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR REAR FUCKING BREAKS, NOT FRONT, FUCKING REAR!!!

Will this work on bmx to?

Thank you this video helped a lot

I have exactly these problems with my sons bike. Thanks for this video!

great, thanks

man i find this so hard i've been at it for hours and cannot get it align its either too loose or too tight

its called an allen key😂

I tried all this stuff but the improvement is negligible and btw that spring tension screw didn't make any difference, one side is pulling, the other not no matter how much I tighten or loosen them. And then after applying the brakes am left with the sticky side still stuck to the rim. I notice that on one side of the brakes the spring tension screw is at a slightly different angle to the other side. Not sure if this is normal. So I sprayed the relevant areas with lubricant, tested many times and again no difference. So in the end I took the sticky side brake pad off (rear brakes) and now I use just the front brakes, with assist from one brake pad at the back. lol. What else can I do? Maybe the brakes are fooked :(

Excellent, saved me a trip to the bike shop!
