Good upload. Simply explained and you have now given me the confidence to have a go myself. (My brakes are pulling on ok but not releasing quickly or fully).
The problem you described you should be able to fix by cleaning and re-greasing the contact surfaces of the brake arms, and by making sure the springs are set in the tightest hole in the frame (both are described in the video). Let me know know the repair goes!.
Fantastic info and clear & concise video filming. Was going to replace my v brakes, will try to clean and regrease spings and pivot arms etc first (arms quite stiff and don't spring away smoothly etc)
That was fantastic mate, I searched YouTube for ages to find a video explaining how to sort a slow releasing arm and how to correctly adjust the springs as well.
Now I can sort and have confidence in my 5 year old boys brakes!
Great video dude. You should teach, you would be good.
