Brakes locking too easily
I had the front wheel of my folder rebuilt at Toga. They adjust the brakes as part of it (thanks!), but on my way home I nearly had the living daylights scared out of me when the brakes locked with almost no pressure on the levers. I've been riding for a very long time so I can tell you that something's not right. The pads were fairly worn so I replaced them with the hope of fixing the problem. The same exact thing happens with the new pads! So I went back to Toga today and, after trying the bike themselves, they concluded with a big "you're right, something's wrong but we can't pinpoint the cause".
Anybody ever hear of this happening? FYI, the front wheel has a Pantour suspension hub. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Edit: We're talking V-brakes here.
