Promax V Brake Replacement?

[Cyclezee]

I badly want to replace the Promax rear V brake on my Wisper 905se. I find it virtually impossible to get them evenly adjusted, and when I do, they soon revert to one side touching the rim and the otherside miles off
I'm thinking Shimano, but what model

Any advice welcome,

John

I've got the same problem with the 905E rear wheel but I thought the 905SE rear wheel was more easily adjusted (i.e it doesn't require a sledgehammer to get it in/out of the rear frame ).
I've 'toyed' with the idea of these:

Avid Shorty 4 - Brakes - MTB - 18.99 GBP - Free P & P to UK & Ireland, Cheap International Rates. Next day delivery from Europes Largest Online Bikeshop.

I haven't plucked up the courage to try them yet but when I had similar experiences with side pull brakes on my 30 year old road bike a set of centre pull weinnman brakes sorted it out then (I've still got them but they don't fit modern - supposedly superior - bike frames)

John,
The brake on my Wisper disintegrated while I was adjusting it before I'd ridden it. I think any V-brake would do. I got the basic shimano one from my local Evans, mainly because it was black, like the one that broke! Cost was £9.99 and 5 mins to fit. Its been fine.
