V Brake callipers

mak3m

Well its been a while but time for a numpty question.

last nights ride i started losing the rear brake, so before going out tonight i set about tightening my cable and the nut has eaten through the thread and rendered my rear brake useless.

i need to replace the whole calliper, so the question is are they standard size fits all or are v brakes as frame specific as disc mounts????

V brakes are standard.

don't buy a cheap set . get some avid single digits . not that expensive either £20 maybe

avid digits are good i got mine on rockhopper and tbh stop as good as a pair of disc brakes.

though be warned the replacements can be costly around £18 pound for a set....

and none of the discount shops ie CRC,wiggle ect sell them from what i seen only the high street places ie halfords/evan cycles so can be exspencive.

You should be able to find a good set of single digits plus some speed dial levers on Ebay or Retrobike for £20-£25.
