even when i put it as far up in the drop outs as possible
what am i doing wrong?
im sure i dont need to take off the chain i am probably doing something wrong

is your chain to short? thats all i can think of

 

[bullitking]

ditto. Not much else that could be wrong

i figured out the chain issue i was not putting it on right

well now i have a new issue
i want to make my brakes (they are v) super good but i cant without them rubbing
what is the best way to fine tune v brakes so they are really good

 

[jhusktrials]

Find some tar. That is the only thing that will work really good. That or some Avids with Avid levers.

there are 2 screws (1 on each side) that adjust the spring tension, tighten and/or loosen those depending on what you need each side to do! also you can take the pads off and take out or swap the washers around to make them work better....once youve got them dialed in and not rubbing you can always add a brake booster and that will give them a little more power also
