I just bought a pair of Avid Single Digit 7 v-brakes to replace my XT kit (parallel push pivots). But when I mount the Avids to the frame, the main pivot has a lot of play in it (wobble). I can grab the brake arm it plays from side to side. I had heard that this is the exact issue where Avid excels over Shimano, for greater stopping power and less squeal.
So, for those of you who own SD7's, is this a manufacturing defect in my copy, or is it a common feature of SD7 brakes?
Thanks.
...No, I'm not ready to move to disc.
