duane Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi, I have some V Brake pads with an offset mounting stud, I assume there is a good reason why the mounting is off center, so my question is should I install the pads with the longer end point along or opposite to the direction of wheel rotation ?Along opposite [] []====== ======>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>wheel rotationThanks Duane.

Mark W Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 They're supposed to be put in with the shortest end nearest the BB, basically, so you have the longer, trailing edge pointing backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 there should be a direction on the pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Years ago I had a set off Koolstop canti (!) pads that worked better when you reversed the direction...Try both.Oh and if it's got one of those toe-in bits that kinda angles in a bit compared to the rest of the pad, file it off.
