Hi! Building up my Hillborne, I tried to put Deore V-brakes on it. However, the Deores would not slide all the way down the brake post/ stud/boss/whatever. The pin which anchors the spring in one of the holes on the brake post did not fully insert into any of the 3 holes. Also, the front brake was protruding far enough that it interfered with the mini front rack.
Anybody else have this experience? If so, do you feel the brake will function reliably with the anchor not fully seated? Did you find a way to fully seat the anchor? (I also had some Tektro 857AL brakes; they fit fine. And they also look stupendously ugly, especially with salmon-colored pads. They work. But did I mention how ugly they are? Wow, are they ugly. But this is the sort of sacrifice one makes, since the hideousness of their ugliness and the shame of being associated with that horrible sight in any way is far outweighed by the glory of being able to actually ride one's Hillborne.)
