v brakes

I installed mini V brakes on my Holdsworth build so I could use standard road levers, but I think I would like to install full size v brakes on it and swap to some Tektro RL520. Spa have a good price on the levers, but wondering if anyone has a marine front and rear set of decent v brakes. Not...

I put a new wheel in recently (Halo White Line Classic) and the squeal from the brakes is horrendous. Trying to stop coming down a ~10% hill put the bike into a full on hell-banshee shriek with the front of the frame shaking! I've tried adjusting the angle of the pads but no joy, and it's not...

Do I need new V brakes or something? I'll set the screws so the pads are equidistant and play the brake lever a dozen or so times, then I find that a few minutes later there's some resistance and rubbing and the screws need setting again. Same thing keeps happening over and over. I really hate V...

Does anyone know any? Or a hack to make road pads work? Any help much appreciated

OK, the rear brakes are of the v type, the caliper arm springs are loaded into the caliper Base, and fit into one of 3 holes, and the other end of the spring is controlled by a grub screw (cannot find a brand name on caliper, except it says Logan I think on the underside) can i replace these...

Well it must be summer as I've hauled the OHs bike out from the rear of the shed. I've never been able to get the brakes to work very well on it, mainly I think because it has crap plastic-bodied cantilevers on it from 1989. So I've binned them (and kept the decent pads I put on last summer)...

When I say cheap, I mean on a brand new bike costing about £250 or less. BSOs usually have them and they are always crap. Apparently V brakes are very powerful but I have only ever come across them on cheap bikes. So assuming pad alignment and distance from rim is optimal, is there anything else...

I have an early 90s MTB which I spent a few enjoyable days on this summer, showing it some lurve. Everything clean as a new pin, rusty bits rubbed down and refinished, new wheel bearings, new brake and gear cables, better bars and bar ends, everything lubed and adjusted. I'm delighted with how...
