Well...
#1 True up those wheels if they aren't already there. You need a FLAT braking surface, no wobble.
#2 Adjust the little set screws on the v-brake arms to get the pads just about a millimeter off the brake surface.
#3 Loosen the screw on the brake arm and let the cable loose.
#4 Screw the brake lever adjuster barrel nuts in ALMOST all the way.
#5 Pull the cable tight at the brake arms, tighten it.
#6 Make sure the arms are centered on the rim, using those little screws again.
And that oughta be it. Now that the lever adjuster barrel nuts are mostly in, you can chase it out as the cable slackens, and the pads wear.
