Thank all you guys for the tips and tricks. I have always stayed away from V brakes. I never thought they looked stupid though, just kind of goofy. Any way I have heard of Avid V's being good, my wife's bike has the single digit 3. So what is the difference between the 3, 5, and 7 single digits? BTW I am old school retro. I told my business manager I needed a new disc brake carbon fiber squishy bike and she reminded me we have a new couch.
