How To Adjust BMX Brakes – Kings Ride Shop

May 15, 2020

Want to learn how to adjust BMX brakes to get super smooth pull and great stopping power?

We’ve seen a bunch of great videos showing how to adjust BMX brakes thanks to guys like Brant Moore, but when it comes to brakes, there isn’t enough videos that will help people figure out how to dial their bikes in! James at Kings Ride Shop put together a video showing how to adjust BMX brakes on a new complete bike with some great tips and examples showing you how to get those brakes dialed in so they pull smooth and lock up nice, even with the cheaper brakes that come stock on some bikes! Having dialed in brakes can make all the difference when you’re learning tricks like fufanus, tail taps, abubacas and, you know, stopping in general!

“Here is an overview on BMX brakes, gyros and straight cable, how to adjust them at the lever, certain cable materials, and different style calipers.” – Kings Ride Shop

If there’s one thing that has been really good for BMX, it has been the shops that fully support BMX 100%. One of those shops would be Kings Rideshop out in California. This BMX only shop has been going strong for nearly a decade, and in that time it has grown and developed a scene that is really important to help keep this lifestyle of ours going strong.
Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of cool things come from Kings Rideshop and figured it would be a good time to catch up with the owner, James Collela, to find out a little bit about him and what the shop is all about! Let’s get into this to see what he had to say!
