I've been searching for this very kind of tutorial for my Aventure. I've lost most of the brake pressure in my rear brake and I took it to the bike shop while I was on a ride the other day. They tell me it most likely needs to be bled. I was curious what the procedure was to bleed the brake line and was very happy to learn how easy it is to do. I think I'm going to purchase a bleed kit on Amazon and do this myself rather than paying the bike shop every time it needs to be done. Thanks a lot for making a tutorial on this. It's much appreciated.

Like others have mentioned - Thank You and much appreciation. Finding self-help videos on YT is easy, finding the ones that get right to the point while being excellently demonstrated is a different story. Your video nailed it. BTW, when you post the video about a complete brake fluid replacement I'll bookmark that too. My new bike came with hydraulic brakes and they became soft after ~160 miles. The factory offered to pay to have a local shop do the work but thanks to you I'll do it myself (in a much shorter time than driving my bike to the bike shop would take). Safe riding!!

@southernebiking Год назад

I really appreciate this video. I’ve always been leery of bleeding hydraulic disc brakes. Generally speaking I have no problem doing anything with the bike from changing tires to putting on a mid drive E bike motor. But for some reason hydraulic brake system has always made me nervous. But I guess it goes back to when I was racing motorcycles many many years ago. We did not use hydraulic brakes in those days, it was drum brakes so just lack of experience with hydraulic systems. Again thanks much, this comes at a good time.

@scotthardesty Год назад

Great! I hope it helped!

@Florida_Man_Robb Год назад

Excellent tutorial. I just did this to my wife and my Aventure’s. I noticed that pumping quite vigorously seemed to get more air from further down the line. Also, before capping the screw, I added a few more drops from the bottle just to top off and left it squeeze out on it’s own. They feel better than new I think.

@scotthardesty Год назад

Thanks man. Good idea adding a few more drops

@kev8839 2 года назад

I used a different “universal” kit bought on Amazon to bleed the spongy rear brake on my Aventure. (Zoom brakes also) The kit you used has a plunger/stopper included in it, that’s handy. The one I used has a clamp that goes on a clear plastic tube to seal it. It works but it’s a little bit more difficult to use. Snugged up the all the brake fittings a tiny bit while I was at it. Haven’t had any issues in the 1000+ miles since bleeding it. Appreciate the video!

@@scotthardesty got the kit two days ago and it worked out. Minus and a big minus the fact that it is definitely a pain trying to push fluid through the brake caliper up to the handlebar, especially when they don't give you the appropriate size fitting. So your advice is on the money you definitely gotta get yourself a syringe or do something else to work that issue out. Luckily I don't mind having my hands drenched in mineral oil.

The universal kit in the link only works for the top "burp" bleed method you demonstrate in the video. The kit does not have an adapter small enough for the Zoom caliper plug so you can't do the full bleeding technique. The burp method was good enough to get my brakes to work though. Thank you!

@robrobinette 2 года назад

Nice, helpful video Scott. Was the fluid really dirty or just a darker color? How does brake fluid get dirty in an almost new bike?

@scotthardesty 2 года назад

Great question. The fluid that was put in the brake lines could have been a darker color that the bike shop used when they did it. I hadn’t thought about that. I’m not a bike pro by any means but that makes more sense than the fluid being bad after only 800 miles.

@marks2537 2 года назад

Hi Scott. I am in the process of upgrading my new Aventure and trying different things out. Have you ever or would you recommend a larger front sprocket for our pedal cadence to kinda match up better with the Aventures higher speeds? Have you done a video about that or tried it or know a video I can see about that? Thanks Scott.

@scotthardesty 2 года назад

I'm in a couple of different Aventon groups on Facebook. I have seen some people switching ours to a 52-tooth front sprocket but I haven't done it myself. I put on a shorter crank (the attached video shows the mods I have done and part of it shows the distance in length with the factory crank and the new one to include links to the shorter crank, if needed). I suggest you search within the groups to learn more about the front sprocket sizes and what they do. Good luck with your search! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-guDxQVVOGVo.html

@lemix69 2 года назад

I bought a complete hydraulic brake bleeding kit for my E-bikes when I first got into e-bikes, because like your automobile you're going to have to replace your pads at some point. Bleeding is only a temporary fix, your pads are wearing down, that is why your brake fluid seems to be low. Adding more brake fluid and bleeding is only making your warn down pads even smaller and eventually you're going to be gouging your brake discs because once the pad is gone, the only thing left is the rivets that were holding your pads together. You may want to check your pads and see if it may be time to replace them. Here is what I bought for that eventuality, it the Park Tool BKM-I hydraulic brake bleed kit. By the way mineral oil is what is most commonly used for bicycle or E-bike hydraulic oil.

@scotthardesty 2 года назад

Thats a good idea about maybe the brake pads are getting worn hence the loose the brake levers.

@Tony-ij9zx 2 года назад

Say Wayne have you attempted to replace your brake pads yet? I’m having a heck of of a time finding Pads for my Aventon Level which supposedly are the same as the Adventure. My ride has Bengals ares hydraulic brake pads . Crazy how hard it is locating them. Aventon has been out of stock for quite some time.

Not for this part.

@@scotthardestyoh ok that makes things easier my front brakes are completely soft and make a air noise when you squeeze them so I plan on bleeding them to see if that works

I used Marvel mystery oil n a squirt can works so far

Good to hear that is an option as well.

This recommended kit from Amazon does not include the fitting you will need to bleed the calipers. It's a size 15 Torx with a smaller thread. This kit does not include the right one.

@scotthardesty Год назад

I do not mention bleeding the calipers so good to know. This was only for the brake levers.

Kit is nice but no fitting to bleed rear brake

@scotthardesty 11 месяцев назад

You sure about that? As far as I can tell, it had everything needed for a full brake bleed. Since I have only had to do the lever bleed on these brakes, I have not had to do a full bleed.

@@scotthardesty , thanks but the fitting at the rear is smaller, I ordered a Zoom kit, I’ll see how it works. Your video is actually very well done and is appreciated. I wish you well.

Made my brake a little better, but not good enough.

@scotthardesty 4 месяца назад

You must not have gotten all the air out. I would try it again.

Love my Aventure but Zoom brakes will become a pain in your A**. The brake lever will leak oil = no braking . Aventon will send you a replacement and that one will leak. I can't understand why Aventon went cheap on the brakes for a heavy a** $2000 ebike. Be careful when your bleeding these brakes don't get oil on anything that your brake pads will touch oil = replacement brake pads.

@scotthardesty 2 года назад

If they leak I will just take them to my Local Bike Shop and have them upgraded.

@michaelweiss8089 Год назад

Did absolutely nothing.

@scotthardesty Год назад

At this point, I would take it to a local bike shop.

@specialist-in-tech Год назад

Sorry folks, but this is NOT a brake bleed. It’s a misleading hack that can lead to even worse brake problems down the road, especially blown seals. Take your Aventon to a real ebike shop, with REAL ebike mechanics that know how to properly bleed brakes. It’s ashame RU-vid is littered with so many of these shallow and untrained ebike video reviewers pretending to do y’all a favor.

@scotthardesty Год назад

You are correct. It’s a brake LEVER Bleed. The crazy part is that it has worked for so many people and for me as I have done it multiple times. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you need me to do a video on how to switch out your controller as well! Lol
