    Can anyone point me to the reason why the right mini-v arm has a different angle than the left one when the brake pads touch the rim?

    Spacers on both sides are identical and the wheel is centered, too

    Many thanks

  • Possibly the height and angle of pads in the brake arms? Looks a bit like right one is higher than left but could just be photo. But tbh as long as long as you adjust it once set up don't see it will make any difference apart from slightly different wear on each pad.. It could just be the tektro arms are not manufactured to super high tolerance to be symmetrical as well tbh

    If it's centred between the dropouts, it might not be centred between the brake posts. The position tolerance when they were welded on probably wasn't super tight, and it doesn't take much to throw the angle off to a noticeable extent.
