  1. My front VBrake only pulls from one side while the other drags on the rim. Anyone give me an idea
    how to adjust them?

    They should have grub screws/allens on each side - these adjust the = power of the spring that holds
    the brake pad away from the rim. Tighten = the side that is rubbing and loosen the other side - or
    play until you = get the correct spacing!

  3. take it all apart, lube and rebuild. My v-brakes crud up quite quickly.
