Hiya kid's can someone tell an idiot the easiest way to get the things working  :whistle:
try & use simple language cos my heads hurting today  Thumbs down

john4130:
put a little grease on the posts, put on the brake arms and tension the springs. about a quarter turn of tension is usually enough, too much and the brake will feel crap. pull out the inner wire from the cable housing and put a little grease on it then put it back in and connect it up. a little grease on the barrel helps too, i dont bother toeing in brake blocks as i like the pads to hit the rim flat. it may squeal but it'll work and get some decent pads. remember grease is your friend.  :laugh:

Take it I need to tension the arms so the brake block end is towards the wheel ???

Tension pads/blocks away from rim, Unless you want your brakes on all the time. :)
