- They're unbalanced or something, causing the front wheel to lock up. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 2, 20:31 8
  - What type of brakes? -- nm - . Aug 2, 21:34 7
    - Squeezy rim pad ones. Not disc brakes. -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 2, 22:15 6
      - Side pull? Is there a wire on the side or does it pull from a point between the sides? -- nm* - . Aug 2, 22:20 5
        
        Google indicates linear pull. It's like, I can shove them around and get them equidistant from the rim, but then it wobbles around and undoes that. -- (edited) - Beryllium Aug 2, 22:22 4
        
        I think the problem is probably how they're attached to the frame. - . Aug 2, 22:31 3
        
        And it seems there are some kind of springs involved in the arms, this could also be the problem. - . Aug 2, 22:41 2
