Hey,
I’m having trouble with my front brake. Basically it’s just really, really unresponsive.
a)have I been spoilt by my V-brakes on my hybrid?
b) are the brake pads shit?
c)are the brakes themselves just old? – I really can’t believe its this as I’ve got brakes working on older and shabbier bikes
d) have I set them up badly?
e)Do I have the wrong wheels for this sort of bike/brake?

Also if I need to replace the front brake – is the drop too big to use a calliper brake?
As always any help advice much appreciated.
