Hello!
Got a ****ling reoccuring problem with my new bike (Raleigh X1).
Its got V Brakes and the front set seem to be misaligned. As I am sat on the saddle, the right pad
quite often touches the rim of the wheel and the left isnt anywhere near it.
Ive tried adjusting the brakes so that both pads are equidistant from the rim but the blimmin
contraption keeps pulling the whole mechanism to the left thus meaning the right pad is VERY near or
IS in contact with the rim!
Getting quite frustrated with the whole thing - i managed to get it balanced ok before i set off
this morning but it was only by pulling the whole braking mechanism to the right and letting it
settle off the rim.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of sorting this?
Cheers
