Looking to replace my V brake pads which haven't lasted very well, despite only moderate use. Kool Stop pads seem to be a clear winner by a long shot, but why do 70mm pads have the fixing bolt offset from the centre? Ashima do some 55mm ones with a centre bolt which, to a numpty like me would seem to give more efficient braking power in relation to brake pad length. Anyone used these?
Could someone enlighten me - what's the thinking behind 70mm pads with an offset fixing?
