I have a cycling tourist from Belgium staying at my house in FL and his rear v-brake right pad is pulling out of the holder from the back to the front and folding between the rim. (If that makes sense)
Basically these are mountain bike style v-brakes on a touring bike that use a shoe/cartridge style vbrake pad instead of the normal one piece pads.
The problem is that the rear of the pad (where it's curved out a bit grabs the rim and starts to fold back to where the cotter pin catches it.
I thought it was a defective pad, but replacing it does the same thing.
The only thing I can think is that the holder is defective. This is the only pad that does this. The cotter pin is stopping the thing from being fully ripped out, so that seems to be in place.
Any ideas? Something I'm missing
