TrialKid32 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I just wanted to know all you vee brake users out there what I can do to help get a lighter feeling on my vee brakes?

basher Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 For a start off dont use 2 fingers on your brake youll regret it one day.New cable and give it a lube when you fit it. Decent lever sd7 or xt or xtr.Have the spring tension on the arms all the way off and keep doing them up so the pads stay even each side. And keep feeling the lever and stop just when it feels nice and light but not to light so theres play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
