i have a mongoose so does my friend his brake pedal is loose and it brakes strong mine is the opposite should i do this or go to the mechanics i am just a kid please answer
I agree with ‘pedrojenkino’. Thanks.
Well the fact that you have a mongoose could factor into your brakes. The way it factors in is that they are really shitty, just like mongoose bikes. By the way go to a mechanic, that way you can have it done right. This adjustment could cost only about 15.00 to 20.00 dollars.
wow, you made this look so easy and thanks to your video it was …thank you so much, this was perfect for me.
Thanks dude that was very helpfull !!!
Really thaks so much.
Totally agreed! I was having some troubles adjusting my brakes! This helps a lot!
thanks alot bro this was really helpful
One thing to keep in mind with bike mechanics when adjusting or fixing is: never overtighten anything: “just enough” is the rule if you don’t want to ruin nuts or screws, “feel the metal stretch” and stop.
Superb video. The best ever on this subject. Helped me a lot!!
this guy is certified to fix my bike
your joking right,
Great video, that was really well done.
Thank you very much!!! This video saved me a bunch of trouble and time! Thank you!
this was the best one yet. the others didn’t talk about the tension springs having anything to do with the alignment. it’s also a plus that one of the pads didn’t align right in the vid. this was part of my problem. now it’s fixed. thanks.
