How do i fix my crappy bicycle brakes?

Question

How do i fix my brakes i bought this bike and the brakes barely work when i click i slow down about 10% does anyone know how to fix it or do i have to buy hole new ones

Answer 1

There are all sorts of reasons possible. You don't say what type of brakes (coaster, cantilever, side pull, disk, ...). You don't give any clue as to symptoms (they don't stop me doesn't help much!).

Re-post the question with more info and maybe someone can help. Otherwise take the bike to a bike shop and have a mechanic look at them.

Answer 2

Take it to the bike shop I can't help you without looking at the brakes and analyzing the situation.
