    Why can't all v-brake UA-cam videos be this good? Every other video seemed to mention loads of stuff that made no difference like disconnecting the cables etc yet I followed your advice and 30 seconds later with a few turns of a screw and one of my blocks is no longer rubbing on the rim. 😎 Thank-you. 😊

I traveled a few miles on a bike path two days ago with my new bike, and the whole way back, my brake was catching and come to find out it was also rubbing on the tire itself. With this simple explanation, I set my brakes perfectly!!! I can't thank you enough!! ❤

    Thank you for your video, I can’t tell you what a difference this has made to my bike, I was given this bike months ago and I was finding it hard to cycle and it put me off this bike, which was a shame as I quite liked the look of it, I discovered today that incredibly I have had one side of my front brake constantly rubbing against the wheel making cycling this bike awful. When I discovered what was actually happening I was at a complete loss on how to fix this, of course having watched your video I have now fixed the problem. I really just want to say a big thank you, from an old man who learnt a new trick😊

    I just changed out the pads on my bike's rear brakes (front brake is a disc type), and ran into this problem. The linear / "V" brakes seem much easier to work with than the "caliper" types I remember fighting with on older bikes our family has owned, so I'm impressed.

    Thank you for doing just that one correction, and I like how you displayed evrything... real nice to see this in action, especially since I havn't seen anyone give any simple rule of thumb on how to what is happening. What's tightening & what's loosening the screw, as well as why it's for the part that it's for???? I keep wondering who even designed this, and then there is the new tech that's entirely different now, but then there is so many models of the same tech we already have. UHG...lol Thank YOU!

    I unscrew both sides first so there is no tension on either side and see where the pads sit. Then I tighten the side that is touching until its central. This way the two sides aren't fighting each other unnecessarily.

    On most bikes, if you remove the brakes, there are 3 holes on the brake mount for the spring to go into. You can add or subtract spring tension by moving the spring to a different hole if you run out of adjustment with the screws as shown in the video.
