Thank you for uploading this just happened to me today when I turned the handle and it popped into the wrong place!
I got a new (used) bike and discovered on my second ride that the front brakes fell apart. I think I can fix them now.
Came across this while trying to fix my Grandson bike thanks a lot you’re tutorial did the trick👏
how to fix a bent noodle??
I didn’t realize my front brake had gotten loose, this video helped me fix it fast no tools, my left one was off that one goes to the front tire, I realized that the right one goes to the back. Double checked them both and my bike is good again.
This legit saved my life thank you so much
Imagine it pops when you are going downhill💀💀
Thanks man❤
Thanks man, this was all I needed. Short and to the point!
If you have an e-bike can you make a video om how to attach the cable to the bottom part of the bike (on the wheel) great video

Mine does not have a slot on the break handle-part….

I did all of this but then when I apply the brake after there is no tension. It pops out like the handle isn't catching. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the video helped me out a lot
Very best video for this!!
I have a question..my brake cable when I went to brake slid out of the barrel,the barrel is now gone and cable just pulled straight out, I've just got the cable with nothing on the end. What do I got to do to fix it other than the obvious of buying a new barrel nipple? Help please.
to fix you order hydraulic lol

This saved me after an hour of trying to freestyle putting a birthday bike together for my little girl!

Hello. My left brake cable snapped when I squeezed it too hard. Is there a universal kit to replace it, or at some point, do I have to use wire cutters? Thank you.
