ProMax 197NC Bmx V Type Brake Set, Rear, 95mm Arms Questions & Answers
My brakes work when sitting still, but will not stop bicycle in motion/under power
There are multiple possible reasons:
1. Brake caliper is not adjusted so pads are within 1/8" or so of rim (rim should be straight enough to allow that).
2. Brake pads are old and hardened.
3. Too much friction in brake cable and housing
4. Brake cable housing is too long, allowing too much flex.
5. If brake levers have been replaced wrong levers were installed.
p.a. It is helpful to know whether a problem is new, has developed gradually over time, or has always been there, and if any maintenance or event occurred just before the problem began. I’m happy to help further over the phone at

When I take my daughters
By always placing the wheel firmly into the fork's dropouts and then then tightening the quick release. Adjust the brake centering and it should always stay the same UNLESS the brake centering itself is moving every time you disconnect the brake to remove the wheel. Then it gets complicated.

Brake adjustment promax aluminum linear pull
assuming the wheel is centered in the frame and all is working well, the pressure springs need to be adjusted. using the pressure screws (small screw sticking out of thr side of the brake) you can adjust the return pressure of each side. Loosen the screw on the side that is moving a quarter turn, tighten the screw on the side that does not move. squeeze the brake lever, check operation, continue until the brakes work equally.

Standard WD40 is just a 'quick fix' as it isn't an actual oil unless the can is clearly labelled as "Bike All Condition Lubricant". It'll be best to buy a proper light oil like 3in1, 151 Super oil or an actual chain lube.
This 'clickey' noise. Is it random and happening every so often or is it a constant, regular click that changes with the speed your pedalling at? Check for slack in the chain. as you wiggle the chain up and down there should only be about a centimetre of movement in the chain. If it's too slack or too tight it can make strange noises. Check the axle bolts and nuts to make sure they're not loose. Check the wheel is mounted straight. If it's turned left or right the chain will 'skip' as it's slightly missing the cog teeth on the wheel. Use the frame at the rear end of the wheel as reference and measure how far the side of the wheel is from the frame on both sides. It should be about the same both sides.

New Balance 6100 Recumbent Bike making a clanking noise when pedaling
I have done a tremendous amount of research on this problem. New Balance (Fitness Quest) is out of business as of late 2012 and no parts are available. The main bearing or crank bearing set is 100% compatible with Proform part number 295560. Since New Balance put their name on this product, they have stated they will reimburse customers for the repairs.
