Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Before deciding on how to fix a problem, you first have to determine that you inded have one, and what that problem is.

So, I ask you, do you have a problem? Or more specifically, can you adjust the brakes so they don't rub when open, and at the same time cannot squeeze the lever to the bar except using strength much greater than you'd ever use to stop the bike? If so, all is good, and you can move on to other problems.

In any case, I suggest you adjust the brakes as well as you can and ride the bike and see how they stop. Because if the brakes work fine, none of the rest really matters.
