Hi all,
I have Shimano Acera v-brakes and I have a lot of free play on the back brake lever. The brake shoes
are nice and close to the rims but I can pull the brake lever almost all the way with little or no
effect. This is a problem that's got worse over the past few weeks and I don't know what to adjust:
is it a case of pulling more cable through the V-brake assembly and re-tightening the screw, or
would the adjustment be made to the brake lever itself?
Sorry for asking such a newbie question! I've searched the uk.rec.cycling archives and the web
without success...
TIA Nick
