Anyone care to advise re. V-brakes to fit mid 90's cantilever posts ? - the thicker 'shoulder' of the post that inserts in the brake arm base is at least 6-7mm long - Modern deore/alivio only have a recess of 3-4mm deep . So the arm does not seat flush and the spring tips are in the holes but only barely. Very weird that shimano is so different to clarks/promax (which do seat properly). There is little definitive info online that I can find and i'm a bit stuck...
