I have a came with the bike V brake set up on my bike now, and as I am getting better at riding, road-riding a lot more and generally getting faster on my bike, I am becoming more and more worried about my stopping power!
I have had a tinker with the brakes, adjusting where the pads are, the brake cable, the knob attached to the lever and the amount of springback on the brake arms, I got it a bit more responsive, but still not very good.
I have also completely cleaned the rim of my tyre too, incase of any oil or anything like that on there.
Do I want to be looking at different pads, arms, cables or lever first?
On a fair budget, so after a bargain, but not bottom of the line stuff.
Thanks for any help
