The v-brakes on my Bow-ti are doing my head in... I've 'toed' them in as instructed by the Retrobike boys, rear is now fine, but the front just will not shout the **** up! At low speed braking the wheel also seems to be 'shuddering' a bit, what could be causing this??

cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

you may have done this, but it may be worth cleaning the rims too. The pads may be dirty too.

+ 1 for cleaning rims....
If you can get it use Acetone,
if not then use Nail Varnish remover
also improves performance
