I just built my wifes bike and the brakes are super touchy. No matter how much slack there is for the brake lever its all or nothing when it comes to stopping. These are XT V-Brakes if that matters. Would toeing in the pads help? Its almost scary riding on these things.
Also it feels like the brakes are squishy. I can pull the Brake handle and once the pads reach the wheel i can still pull on the brake lever.
Any help on these two problems would be much appreciated.
Thanks
