Typical box store Huffy's have horrible brakes. The calipers are too thin and flex way too much when under load.

The main thing is true the wheels so you can get the pads as close as possible and get maximum lever travel before the handle bottoms out.

Huffy's were a convincing factor for me to buy a truing stand!
