Many jobs on your bike can seem daunting, and feel like they might take hours. But with Jon's helpful tips, you'll see that setting up rim brakes perfectly needn't take too long.

If you've got time once you've set your brakes up, don't be afraid to give your pads and rims a quick once over, and make sure they don't need replacing.
