Girlfriends sisters daughters birthday today, she got a small BSO.
I adjusted it to suit, it's a little large still but works ok.
However, after adjusting the levers (using the reach adjustment screw thoughtfully provided) they won't pull enough cable to pull the brakes onto the rim hard enough.
The brakes are generic V brakes, the levers are generic black plastic over (I presume) a steel core.
Recommend me some levers that I can adjust to suit a 7 year olds hands, and still pull enough cable to operate the brakes fully?
