Check your and Pads too rims too
I think my brake pads are back too front?...
I also cleaned the brakes.

I think you need to pull the brake lever while you do it. Otherwise you will permanently have your brakes on. OOPS! Perhaps try a block of wood of the correct thickness between the handle bar and lever(to match the max lever pull amount)then secure with powerful elastic.
Then adjust brake pads.
There is also a cable length adjustment on brake.

Great video, thank you.

This is helpful for left and right brake pad alignment but how can I make my cantilever brakes tighter? They work but I have to pull the brake levers further than I would like before the pads touch the wheel. (I don't have any inline adjusters)

Thanks 4 the tips ! Well done !

really helpfull thank you

thanks... my wheel is now fully in the dropouts. face palm

Are traditional rims without cavity compatible with these brakes?

good tips! thank you

thank you for all the good advice. i sat down and took notes. thank you again. u r a very good teacher

I find when the pads are too close to the rim but are not rubbing while in the stand they might rub when riding the bike because the rim flexes when riding.

My bike only has the little screw that adjusts the spring tension on one side of the brakes and it's driving me insane because I can't seem to get both sides to move equally grrr ><

Thanks... this was very useful! Sorted out my brakes!

@2:19 you instruct to push the pad up against rim and tighten - that's a little misleading b/c the pads have to be a few mm away from the rim. So how do you measure & adjust for the distance the pads need to be from the rim and be consistent on both sides? Do you just eyeball it ?

1) how come you only zip tied one of the brake shoes, and not both?
2) also, does the longer side of the shoe point to the front of the bike or towards the back of the bike?

great vid thanks

He reminds me of Tim Heidecker.

Good video - clearly explained by someone who knows what they're doing. I've used the idea of a spacer to create the toe-in - so simple! Previously I'd dreaded adjusting canti's - not any more :o)
