have just bought some shimano mini-vs and they so not sit flush on the surly brake studs or the easton ones on my forks. the slightly stepped part of the stud is what is stopping the movement as far as i can see. it can only be a few mm interference stopping it so should i just take a bit of sandpaper to the hole in the brakes?
That sounds like a terrible idea. A couple of mm will take forever with emery paper (sandpaper will be too soft), the hole will not be round nor parallel.
I hear you, but i feel it should fit so there may just be a small amount of extra material somewhere that is preventing them seating properly. Also, by sandpaper i mean sandpaper on dremel so should be relatively easy.
