Squeaky brakes: rims are greasy. Don't use degreaser to clean. Use spit.   kellyjones00 (593)

V-Brake adjustment: First remove brake pads, keeping washers in their original positions, and whittle off detritus and hardened grease from the pads. The key to brake adjustment is spring tension. Each brake has a hardened wire acting as a spring, that slots into one of three positions. Get that position right for best tension. Also make sure
fine adjustment screws at handlebar end of cable are screwed in cl all the way first.   kellyjones00 (593)
