I might look at an issue that was found by test on Friday.

Fixed. Simple config change and everything is hunky dory

I wonder how many things the Fix It Again Tomorrow will fail on this morning.

4.

3 metal brake pipes and a binding rear brake.

They can fix the fecking thing, I've had enough.

got a problem with youngest bike that I put together yesterday.
Everything was going good apart from the rear brake one of the arms isn't springing bake after applying the brake and as a result its rubbing on the rim.

Its got v brakes so wondering if I need to adjust the spring tension.

So far no real issues or pain and no need for the emergency plasters in my bag

As soon as you forget the plasters that's when the shoes start to hurt.

Assuming the wheel is in straight and running true...

If you release the cable and the arm still doesnt spring back where it should then try undoing the bolt that holds the arm to the pivot and remove the arm. The pivot should be smooth, rust free and greased. If it's not then clean it up with emery paper, grease it and reassemble.

Otherwise Sheldon Brown will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about brake adjustment and fixing problems

Sounds like you had a good time.

Certainly did

Nah, Sheldon is the legend, or was. He died a ferw years ago now. Pretty much everything I know about fixing bikes I learned from reading his website.
