How Can I stop my bmx front brakes from rubbing along the wheel rim?

Question

My brakes on my bike are rubbing along the rim, which is a nightmare as its making it hard to ride and also making a very annoying noise! I have tried to alter the cables to make it looser but this only seems to make the brakes tighter. The brakes work fine they just dont return back to where they should after I have used them. If this makes any sense to anybody and you can be of some help that would be great. Thanks

Answer 2

Answer 3

you shoud be able to adjust them without loosening the cable. There should be a s***w/bolt that you can adjust. Its kinda hard to tell without knowing what kind of brakes they are.
