Matt Vandart Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Were a pain in the ass on one bike I had and had to run a thinner rim in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-0 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Just file/sand down the pads, they'll still last ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Or if you'd rather spend more money than sand some away - try and get hold of some Tensile Offset Mounts. Edit: Dick.... I looked in this topic 'cause it said "vees." Haha. My bad. Edited April 30, 2010 by aener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Or if you'd rather spend more money than sand some away - try and get hold of some Tensile Offset Mounts. It's a V-brake not HS33, this won't work. If your running your V-brake on adaptors (HS33 to V-brake) have you tried the Onza adaptors, as these have different width settings. Alex.

liam-pantera Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 couldn't you try running the pads without the pivoting spacers between the arms and pad base ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 they wont align up to the rim, they bugger of at some squ-iff angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
