V Brakes just won’t adjust properly
So I have a problem adjusting the V brakes on my bike. If I set them up so the pull on the lever feels normal, the wheel is won’t move because the pads are already on contact. If I set them up so the wheel will spin freely, then the they are so mushy that fully pulling the lever barely has any effect. I’ve tried a few things: checked the housing and cable, checked for points of flex / wobble in the run, etc etc.
I’m not a massively experienced but I’ve set up a few sets of v brakes in the past.
This is a brand new set of V brakes, new housing, new cable, new noodles - the lot! The brakes and the levers were bought together as a set.
They’re going on my Surely Cross Check. Any hints and tips very very welcome!
