Hydraulic road disc brakes offer superior performance but can be a little more complicated to set up than cable brakes. Ollie gives us an in-depth guide on the installation, setup, and maintenance of hydraulic road disc brakes. This video covers the tools you will need and the process of running cables and hoses through internally routed frames.

From my calculations Ollie used $1039.40 USD worth of Park Tools to install this $550 USD hydraulic brake set. However, we cyclists seem to loose all sense when it comes to spending on our bikes. Case in point I just spent an extra $120 on a some pedals just because they are a few grams lighter than the ones I had been happy with for 8 years.

@Chance57 2 года назад

Shoot, as a commuter I can go balls to the wall with spending and usually I still don't even come up close to what I would pay in gas for the year unless I'm starting a new bike from scratch

@Egppie. Год назад

I mean I spent 40k php to convert my old mtb Specialized pitch comp 650b to a gravel bike when at the same price of the components I used I can buy a used grabel bike

ALWAYS push the olive and nut onto the hose before installing the barb. Most barbs are to big to slide an olive and nut over.

@tychoMX 3 года назад

Not the latest Shimanos! I think this may be this generation of hoses and barbs, I have spent some anxious times looking for the olive that popped off from the hoses. The last install I did (GRX) actually has the olive inside the caliper port already; you supposed to just slide the hose with the barb into the screw-olive-port assembly. It's quite a bear since the fit is pretty tight, and I found it easier to take the olive out and manually slide it into the hose before inserting in the port.

@JP-mo3fb 4 месяца назад

@davidmeier8860 Год назад

Great video. I would make a few additions. Firstly, it's just mineral oil and not brake or hydraulic fluid (which is corrosive) so not much to worry about when dealing with it. Also, for internal routing I find doing the opposite (getting the levers connected and then cutting the hose to length at the brake itself to be easier. Best video I've found on this... Thanks!

@stuartpatterson3188 3 года назад

Olly, I noticed that you did it, but you never mentioned why you had the crows foot adapter at 90 degrees to the torque wrench. If anyone is wondering, it keeps the effective length the same, and therefore the torque the same (or near enough, it's not a perfect method, but close enough).

@caramynd 3 года назад

"Every days a school day" i dont have a crows foot adapter, but if i get one i will know now.

@richardhaselwood9478 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip. I haven't even seen that on the Park Tool videos.

@EONONInstallation 2 года назад

Except: As used, you can see that it ends up at about 30 degrees to the axis of the torque wrench... Which means the torque ended up a little different. :)

I noticed you didn't talk about expecting air bubbles to come through in the reservoir and what to do if the brake feels spongy after bleeding or there is lots of travel in the leaver or the loss of breaking if the bike was turned upside down. Will there be a part 2 to this video as it's not quite as simple as that and think it's worth will sharing with your viewers/home mechanics

@alainpfammatter8224 3 года назад

Great video. Thanks. Is there a way how I can remove the olive and the piston thing from the braking cable once it has been installed?

@gcntech 3 года назад

Hi Alain, to remove, it's best practise to cut the hose to remove and discard the section with the brass olive and the barb (being careful not to hit the barb with your cutters so as not to damage them). The barb and olive should be replaced with new ones but the nut is reusable!

@graemejwsmith 8 месяцев назад

The Tube cutter is an expensive investment for occasional use. You can get just as clean a cut with a $10 Co-Ax cable stripper set on its smallest setting. Loads to choose from in your favorite online store. The barb can be lightly tapped in without the help of a special tool. Cable routing - some stiff garden wire with the tip bent over into a tight smooth bend gets the job done for cents. Especially if you are having to find the route on a frame that doesn't have messengers already fitted.

You can do, it’ll be less messy but not completely necessary, you could simply just unbolt at the shifter and drain whatever is in the top part of the hose into a cup. Replace with a new olive and rebleed fully. You’ll find a lot of short cuts along the way.

@richardharris8538 3 года назад

I have an off-topic question, Ollie. I have an Ultegra FC 6700 (2 x 11) crank set, with172.5 long cranks. My shoes intersect with the tires, so I'd be safer with shorter cranks. Can I use any Shimano or any Ultegra cranks or crank sets, or does it have to be replaced with FC 6700?

@jasongirvan6729 3 года назад

Great job Ollie. I have a question though. Torque wrench practices teach us that when using a crows foot adapter such as you use, you must then account for this leverage in the value or the setting which results in a lower setting. This must be accounted for as due to the the position of the crows foot this can change by as much 30 or more %. So my question is was that 5nm with this adjustment value or is this value shimano says to use with a crows foot.

@Martinni151 Год назад

@bele13 3 года назад

Did I miss something or did the bleeding part consist only of pushing the oil into the system? I feel like this might leave some air in the system, which would cause trouble when braking. After all, if you're not moving the pistons, why would you need a bleed block?

@tflspitfire 3 года назад

no expert here, but if you do not put the block in, the pistons can be pushed out of the caliper. I think this would ruin the entire brake. When there is fluid in the hoses, this could easily happen when you accidentally bump into one of the levers...And this way, the pistons are safely pushed all the way back, this way you cant put to much fluid into the system. ...and yep, normally you would do all sorts of shaking and tapping to get rid of all the bubbles.

@eduardorufino8596 3 года назад

Also if you noticed when we had the fluid in he was pulling on the lever multiple times that makes air bubbles get out the system crating a much more tighter feel when braking. (Don't forget the bleed block is still in the caliper for the pistons)

@TheDaern 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, Ollie - clear and concise. I think others have mentioned the bleeding technique. The full Shimano process is a bit more involved and, in my own experience anyway, vital to getting decent lever feel, where it doesn't feel that you're grabbing a load of air at every pull of the lever. TBH, that's a video in its own right, and would be well worth doing as it's a dark art and so often done wrong. Maybe one for the future? Also, as a note on the bike - I love the clean lines of hidden cables as much as the next person, but the part of me that rides in Yorkshire winces at the sight of cables running through the middle of headset bearings and the thought that swapping these is transformed from a 15 minute job into one that is likely to take several hours! What are your own thoughts around this development in bike design? A step too far?

@richardhaselwood9478 3 года назад

Good argument. But, even having replaced my internal cables and housings, a few times, with the associated swearing, I still prefer them over external, if only because it keeps a lot of muck out of the cables and housing, and it looks cleaner. I know, form over function argument there.......

@manfredmuench2657 3 года назад

#askGCNTech I have noticed recently that when I pull on my front brake at any speed [6 year old Tektro Hydraulic] the front wheel moves to the left, top view obviously.

dont forget that sometimes you have to restart the pistons, they extend continuously as you rotors get thinner and thinner due to wear, so if you replace just the rotors you might have rub no matter how you are centering the calipers and nothing helps you, push the pistons with pads OUT to create bigger gap and then it will be ok
