Got your newsreader language set to Venusian? Wot i got woz:-

"Two of the screws appear to have hardly any thread and have popped out,
therefore i cannot adjust the tension on the brakes.

Can I just replace this bit or do i need to replace the whole brake
assembly.

Cheers

Nigel"

Of course, I'm hoping it doesn't appear as Venusian this time ;-)

Cheers, helen s

No, text. Agent failed to decode it (and this is not supposed to be a

I'm using Agent, and I saw the message just fine, in plain text.

There are a couple of screws you might be talking about. On a V brake
there there is one such screw on each brake arm. In practice you can
set the brake up perfectly satisfactorily without these, simply by
bending the brake springs themselves, although replacing the brake
would be a better option (V brakes are not very expensive).

The other screw is in the brake lever and adjusts the reach - very
important for bikes used by children, as it's important that they can
reach the brakes. If the rider of the bike cannot conveniently reach
the levers, replace the lever assembly.

You haven't got newsreaders making coded comments about you on TV for
MI5 have you?
