The sad part is that the Himiway manual lacks info as to general repair, part replacements and general maintenance info. Imo, Tim, the Tinkering Turtle, should be paid by Himiway for producing go-to videos like this, but he simply does it anyway because he's a caring man with a big heart . Hat's-off to the Tinkering Turtle!

I thought I was smart enough to figure out my squeaking brakes but I’ve had little success. After watching your video I adjusted them per your instructions and no more squeaking! It’s a pleasure to ride ounce again. Thanks much!😊

I really enjoy your videos.I was having a tough time deciding on getting a Rad bike or a Himiway . And after watching your videos, it was an easy choice. I live in NH and some of the hills are a bit much as I am getting older. I went with the Himiway step through. Thank you for the great videos ,they are a huge help.

Good tip on using the clamp and then adjusting. Your instructions were great!

I love my new Himiway, but I hated my brakes rubbing. Thank you so much for the excellent and wonderfully understandable brake caliper adjustment procedure. It was just what I needed to be 100% happy with my bike. You are a great instructor.

I've been trying to fix my breaks on my Aventon Pace 350 for some time now. This did the trick. I cannot thank you enough. This was incredibly helpful. I look forward to not flying over my handlebars!

Thank you so much for your excellent video! My rear brake was slipping, and your description of the adjustment solved my problem; all I needed was 5mm Allen wrench. Thanks again!

Have to say that this is the best video I have found regarding adjustment of the Tektro Aries brakes. I love the clamp idea. Nicely done. The only thing missing from this video is the use of a torque wrench.

after owning an e-bike for almost a year, and adjusting brake pads, I found your video to be the best way to adjust brakes. I was doing it wrong. thanks a lot!

Yes!!!!! Thank you soooo much!! This is the video I needed!! Well. All your videos are amazing. But on the hubbies maiden voyage,his brake was touching the whole ride and we didn’t know how to adjust them. Now we do!! Thanks for all you do!!

Fantastic , I have a squeak that drives me crazy. I knew I was going to have adjust the brakes. I didn't realize how simple the fix was. Thanks.

Concise and easy to follow. Great information on where to clamp down on the cable, something that is not covered properly in the "other" more technical videos.

Another awesome video. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to help the Himiway community. I know I’ll be able to work with my bike when it ever gets here!

This is simply the best video showing the exact method to adjust these brakes. I have this exact set on my Rad Rover 5 and this is so helpful.

Your explanation made adjusting my rear brakes on Lectric 2.0 so quick and easy. Thanks a lot!

Thank You , Thank You, Thank You , can't say it enough. I just got my Step Thru , Himiway , Cruiser together. Trying it I noticed the front brake making a noise. The pads were tight and rubbing. Not sure what to do I checked on here and found your video. A couple of minutes and some minor adjustments and everything is fine , Life is Great. Subscribed.

This is what I was looking for. My brakes have suddenly failed on several occasions. Starts with the rear, total sudden loss and I can make it home with just the front brake. Lately the front will fail after the rear fails. A pop noise and total slack. I contacted Vituvia and they sent me a link to your video. Took only minutes to adjust and now I have approx 6 miles without a problem. Thanks for posting this video! Most helpful!

Good Afternoon Tim, My Cruiser was delivered 8 days ago, I have 43 total miles. I did notice my inside front caliper was riding on the brake disc. Your video was excellent and I will made those adjustments this evening. Two days ago I rode 16 miles, and know that I will really enjoy my Himiway Cruiser. My first 3 miles last week the temp was only 14, so didn't want to make any riding mistakes with ice and snow on the roads. Yesterday and today here in Minneapolis south metro, we were 40 degrees, so have been adding up the miles. Thank you again for the spot ON video. And I subscribed. Stay warm everyone, Jack

Thanks a lot mate, you really saved me, I went to the cycles store they said to me I've to pay £40 to fix my break God bless you 🙏

Thanks for the great tutorial. I've been using my bike to commute daily here in England and the brake levers are now moving to the hand grips. I have new pads to fit but think the cables may have stretched too. Thanks for helping to keep me cycling 👍

Tim, great video - thank you. Very informative. You've done a great job of explaining the reasons for each action as you go. I got a new Radrunner Plus 3 months ago and it's my daily commuter. I love it, but this week, the brakes started fading pretty fast to the point where I virtually have no stopping power. Over the last few days, I've watched a number of "how to" videos, but it was only after watching your video that I felt I had the confidence to tackle the job and it was a piece of cake ;-) Both front and rears are working well now. I subscribed and hit the notification bell. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks again...

This method seems to work! Had high pitched ringing for past few months. ENT dr said I had Eustachian Tube Dysfunction but not much to do about the ringing. Found this site 2 days ago and already symptoms have significantly reduced with this method. Will keep up for a few more weeks. Thanks so much for this video!!

You have a great way of showing Himiway bike adjustments and for those who like upgrades for riding preferences those too. Keep it up! The only thing that I would suggest because I watch ALL of your videos is if on occasion you would change up the background music. :-) You're a great teacher, easy to follow.

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It saved me a world of pain and gave me the independence to service my own electric bike. First time e-bike owner, and knew nothing of disk brakes. I managed to readjust everything myself (the store where I bought it did a pretty ordinary job assembling it.) For a middle-aged woman like me, it's such a boost in confidence. Bike is running beautifully, now; no more tyres rubbing on the break pads, no more squeaking, and the brake handles now feel firmer (not loose.) Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us noobs, in a clear and succinct way. Cheers!

You are my hero! This is the third video that has helped me out of a jam. Thank you very much!!!

Great video. I use a rubber band to hold my brakes on. Also works good as an emergency brake for parking on a hill.

Outstanding. I was going to have to take it into the shop to adjust the brakes, but your video was excellent and i was able to do it by myself. Thank you

Very clear and well done. 👌🏽 I really needed this. I thought I needed new brakes after 600 miles. I will try this and get back with you.

Perfectly adjusted the front pads on my new mountain bike thanks to your video!

Two bikes with great brakes again in about 12 mins. Awesome Vid! Thank you!!

Great video! Was able to adjust mine the first time by watching this video. I did 3 more and had no problems. Cannondale Adventure 2

Thank you very much, you helped me sort my son’s brakes this is ver much appreciated, have a lovely Christmas.

Best brake video ever. This was really helpful and gives me confidence to work on my own brakes

I'm glad I found your video. I just got a used Voltbike Mariner and your info is what I needed . Thanks

Excellent job on the video.... best one on brake cables I've seen yet! Thumbs up!

Just what I was looking for! You are a great instructor :)

another great timely video! Thanks for help keeping us safe on the road! Your videos are invaluable

Thanks, my new Radrunner rear brake was squeaking and deflected the disc quite a bit when activated. This solved the problem and keeps everything in alignment

Appreciate this explanation....haven't received my bike yet, but the information will come in handy some time after I've ridden it!

Thanks 😊 great teacher 👍 skills one of the best VIDS on mechanical brakes!! u da man!

Thank you so much I just got my bike yesterday now thanks to you I will be able to take care of it.

Thanks, using this video I was able to installed a new caliper on my Super73 E-Bike!

You De Man thanks so much , had no idea 1st timer with these type of brakes . Everything is tip top now !!!!!!

Great video. Made the adjustments. Thank you so much for what you do.

You just got a new subscriber; nice and easy video to follow fixed issue for friend first try! 👍🏾

Thanks. Just what I was looking for. Your videos have been a great help to me. Thanks again

That was an excellent, well done, brake maintenance video for the ebike. My thanks.

Finally! A good mechanical disc brake video

Your tutorials are very well done. Thank you.

Love the video! So easy to understand! Bike looks like my Rad city 4

Hi T.T. Thanks so much for putting together this video. Just what I needed. 👏🏼👏🏼

Very complete and easy to follow tutorial. Only comment I would make is don't cut the excess cable too short because when you replace the brake pads you may not enough cable left.

I did fixed mine before I d watched ur video but. Thank god I find ur video 🙏

Good Job Thank you : ) You had steps that other videos left out. Thank you Very Much Have a Nice Day: ) I feel confident now! WOOT WOOT!!

Wow, super helpful video, very clear to follow. Thanks so much!

Very informative and well explained, to boot! Thanks Tim

Thank u! I got a Quietkat voyager and it's the best bike I've had had to put it together though

Your a life saver thanks for your great videos. Just love em

Thank turtle dude ya my Himiway front rim was rubbing bad great fix tip cheers.

Very nice video. Thanks for taking the time to walk through the process thoroughly.

I actually had a hell of a time adjusting my front brakes out of the box. The pads were rubbing and I used this to help me adjust the brakes. I originally used the clamp method, but either I over tightened the clamp or didn’t tighten enough. Did 4 times with the clamp and the disk was still rubbing. Finally asked the wife to pull the handle and skipped the clamp. That fixed the issue on the first try. Not sure why the clamp didn’t help, but all good now.

You are an excellent instructor. Thanks.

Thanks for the help!!! I've got brakes again!

Himiway needs to hire your video services... 🙂

Great info 👍🏻 thanks for taking time to show us. 🙏🏻

Just what the Doctor ordered…..Thanks Doc!! 👍😜

Thank you very much for this video man.. you saved my life..

Just wanna say your videos are great🙂 God bless

excellent video clear and to the point 5 stars and thank you!

Thanks for the vid. Butt ass easy to do after watching you show the steps to do!5 min if even that to do it.

Thanks a ton Tim. This was super helpful!!

Excellent and clear. OTOH, it was so clear that it's obvious to me it's definitely not something I want to do every couple of weeks. For whatever it costs to swap out the mechanical disc brakes for Tektro hydraulic disc brakes it'd be worth it, not to mention the other advantages of hydraulic vs mechanical, like gradual response vs on/off, etc. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the vid, simple man need a simple and great guide, big thanks :-D

Quick tip: if you don't have a clamp for the brake handle you could also use a little rope or shoe lace to wrap around, or a zip tie. And also, instead of tightening the barrel adjuster at the top I would do the adjuster at the wheel first then in future if needed more tightening you could do so at the top. Just a quick tip

Thank's so much, makes me understand the mechanism.

Thank you, thank you! So nice to be able to stop again!

Good clip!! Very well explained.

This guy is the best thank you thank you

Excellent helpful videos... Thx

Merci infiniment de votre vidéo fantastique et pratique.

Thank you, missed on that pad adjuster!

Absolutely fantastic vid. I have the new Rad Rover 5 with the same Tektro Aries brakes and your vid was perfect to learn how to adjust the brakes. Thanks!! Have you purchased replacement pads? if so what pads did you buy. i noticed there are a-lot of inexpensive pads on Amazon. I wonder if they are as good as the stock Tektro pads. Thanks.

Thanks man this helped alot!

Great video,Thanks.

Great job as always:)

Wow great vidéo, well and simply explain 🤔😋👍🚴‍♂️
