V brakes?

MikeCheryl

Hi guys

Our bikes have rear V brakes so I understand.

What I would like to know is how best to set them up?
At the moment one pad moves more than the other, I don't think it drags at all but just wanted to check.
Also, how much lateral flex should there be in the pads when braking? um, thats to say with the wheel movement.
Very new to all this so go easy, thanks

you will need to adjust the spring tension.
