car hire exmouth

hi, i’m jenni from the london bike kitchen and i’m at oakley in residence, the workshop, at exmouth market. today i’m going to be showing you how to change your brake pads. the way you can tell that you need to replace your brake pad is if these teeth here, on the side of your brake, have disappeared. if it becomes flat, you definitely need to get your brake pads changed. they are not going to last forever. the first thing you need to do is undo the quick release, and the next step is take an allen key and unscrew the bolt. take your new pad and place it inside the brake calliper. you’ve got the washer here and the bolt. once you’ve got the brake pad in place, tighten up the bolt by hand and then at this point, you want to make sure that the pad is in the correct spot.

so it’s not too far up and touching your tyre and not too far down coming off the rim. tighten that up.
