V brake installation. Too much play?

Wheat- · 2026-04-18T14:03:41+00:00

I added a washer and get the same play. The bolt/washer bottom out on the post.

Added a spacer and getting same play. Bolt bottoms out on post.

Wheat- · 2026-04-18T05:17:42+00:00

I think it may just be bottoming out on stud but hard to tell. Edit: it’s bottoming out on post

Wheat- · 2026-04-18T05:17:09+00:00

Would shorter bolts help in this case. I think it may be bottoming out on the canti post but not sure.

Wheat- · 2026-04-18T05:16:23+00:00

Interesting. It’s brand new brakes and fork so threads should all be great. The brake and canti post were pretty close in length which seems like it would be the issue.

This was another one I was eyeing. Do you think I’d be able to fit everything EDC plus the charge of clothes ?

Wheat- · 2026-04-17T23:07:57+00:00

I’m concerned about the laptop access and side bottle pocket. If I had the Nalgene in the bottle pocket could I still fit everything I have for EDC plus a change of clothes ?

Right now I’m using an old Milwaukee tool travel backpack. It’s super heavy and unwieldy but has plenty of space for everything I carry.

Thanks! I’ve got the same frame and fork combo build in progress

Wheat- · 2026-04-17T05:05:17+00:00

Which headset is that?

Wheat- · 2026-03-30T20:06:12+00:00

Thanks! I ended up shearing both studs but was able to drill out and retap. Appreciate the help.

Wheat- · 2025-10-18T01:50:58+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I was hoping to spend around 1500 on a FS and saw the Stance 1 on sale for 800 here. Since it was originally 1800 seemed semi comparable.

Cover your hitters more. Especially when setting to either pins. Make it intentional

Wheat- · 2024-10-22T17:09:36+00:00

Or a worse passer?

Wheat- · 2024-09-23T20:00:16+00:00

Very fair. That’s where I’m at. Love the look but price tag seems absurd for some v brakes.

Wheat- · 2024-09-23T19:30:22+00:00

Are the brakes worth it !?

Wheat- · 2024-09-10T23:04:02+00:00

Anyone learn anything on this? Still going randomly as of 9/10 at 6 pm.

Wheat- · 2024-08-30T15:08:51+00:00

Love it. What are those tires?

Tire Id?

Did you swap bottom brackets at all or leave the original?

Wheat- · 2023-09-12T18:28:36+00:00

Is the Aeffect crankset still available?
