Rim brakes - running tektro calipers and salmon kool stops front - black kool stops back
 
Toe them out, align them properly with the rim and make sure both the rims and pads are clean. I find babywipes are the best for the latter. For the former, loosen the brakes, put a thin piece of card between the rear 1/4 of the pad and rim, pull the brakes hard and retighten.

Just noticed HLaB's signature "Howl Like a Bianchi!" which is exactly what brakes do when they are wet and have oil / grime on the rim or disc. As above give the rim a good clean - take off the pads and have a look if there are any fragments of metal stuck on the pad surface. Then re assemble as per above.
