<VV> Brake frustration

[Michael Kovacs]

 My initial reaction is that the rear brakes are
grabbing, not the front not functioning. There have
been many ideas on VV about the relationship of the
hand brake adjustments and the function of the brake
system in the back. 

 I'd first be sure the hand brake is properly adjusted
and that the rear brake system is in proper order.
