good quality brake springs do not lose spring tension in that manner and should not be an issue I hope with the choice of origin8 v-brakes.

The set of brakes I replaced were promax brakes, and they definately did loose some of their springyness over time. This set seems comparable in quality, and so I think they will too, especially since the springs seem super tense now. They'll probably be less so after a year or two, and then I'll swictch the orientation of the spacers and take slack out of the cable. The promax set worked fine that way for about nine years.
Regarding the computer stuff, huh? I'll look it over, but confidentially, I don't even own a computer, I'm posting this from my smart phone.
