Hi Andreas, I'm an experienced bike mechanic and worked primarily on Mountain bikes but I thought I should draw your attention to something.
Replacing disc brake pads can vary a fair amount depending on the type of brakes you are using. I could provide a video of how to do Shimano brakes for instance but if the user had Maguras it wouldn't be directly clear how the process compared although there would be some transferable logic. The same issue, in fact more-so would exist with bleeding. The correct method of bleeding one set of disc brakes is likely to be very different from another, along with the specific bleed kit/tools and even type of oil. I'd love to get involved (I'm actually now a Design Tech teacher so tutorials is kinda up my street) but I think for these particular jobs it might be better to create tutorials for the most common or at least the most similar systems.
