Front Vee

[Reinis.]

I bought a zhi v brake adaptor to put it on my echo pure fork, which has magura mounts. So, I put the adaptors on, and was putting one vee arm on, too (shimano deore), but when I tried to put the pad on, it didn't contact the rim the way it should do it. The half of the pad was off the rim. And I couldn't get it to contact the rim normally. Tried to change the holes of the adaptor, but still the pad didn't fit properly. Is the fault in the adaptors, or where? I don't know how can I Put the pad on that it contacs the whole rim, no only a half of it.

Could you get a picture of it up?

Might help us help you

You can slide the adaptors up and down?

move the pads up and down?

Put more spacers behing the pad backing, moving it closer to the rim ? you want to try set it up on the middle hole or your pads will run down at a dodgy angle

Is your wheel sitting in the dropouts correctly? Could be something silly like that

[r2wtrials]

Have you fitted the little curved washer type things that allow the pads to be moved to almost any angle?

[Reinis.]

Ok, I'll try to put some more washers behind the pad backing and, yes, I have put on those curved washers and the wheel is set up correctly in the dropouts.
