  • If you use a plain bolt the pad will only ever be parallel to it

    Not so, and the types illustrated all have the bolt head flat against the am when fitted. The pivoting elements are inside the arm. V-brakes usually have spherical washers both sides of the arm and the bolt angles with the pad, but that's not what's in the pictures.

  • That's what I was thinking. Good to know that I can use any bolt then.
    Still don't know why manufacturers use a special bolt for it.
