If it is shifting fine, it's not in the adjustment. You can try lubing anywhere the derailer pivots. These spots are easy to identify. Put the bike in a stand, hang it level from the rafters or even flip it upside down and remove the wheel. You'll be able to work the derailer back and forth to fin

Hmm, the VO model is Tektro FL730. The website said "calipers or cantis." No mention of v-brakes. I honestly paid no attention to whether there was a v-brake setting. How does that normally work? Is there a switch or is there a different anchor point for the cable head? I should give it a look
