Brake locks front wheel resulting in flying over the handlebars

[Freddy92]

I have not seen a risk assessment. Could someone upload the instructions or links to the instructions that come with V-brakes for after market installation? We could then all have a look at what they say.

Above is a link to a random Shimano V brake 'Service Instruction'. It's a while since I bought any Shimano parts, but IIRC they always come with a printed sheet similar to the doc above. Bottom left of the document is a clear instruction to use the V brakes with compatible levers.

Reading the OP post it looks like he / she is looking at every avenue possible to find blame on the mechanic other than the daughters miss judged calibration on the new brake set up ....

Or is it just me ?
