V-Brake bosses differences?
Hello,
today I tried to replace my old, no-brand V-brakes with the latest Deore Lx v-brakes (BR-M580). I found out that the bosses on the frame are too short for the new brakes. While the width is perfect, the length is a few millimeters shorter. Actually, if I compare the old v-brakes with the new, the new ones are a few millimeters thicker. My frame is a few years old and I think it was designed for cantilever brakes (it has the cable stop in the rear triangle). Are cantilever bosses slightly different from v-brake bosses? Or do new Shimano v-brakes require special bosses? Thanks in advance, Federico |

No, no, and no. You should just install those brakes and ride. Canti
and V bosses are the same thing, they even mount the same distance from the axle. Minor changes in modles od brake may look slightly diffrent, but they still function the same. -Tim |
