    Hi, I have an oldish cyclecross bike and I’m looking to replace the brakes. Was just wondering if direct mount is compatible with the same fitting as v brakes?
    My bike currently has some mini v tektro and I was thinking of getting some shimano 105 direct mount.
    I can post a picture if it helps. Thanks

    Depends on the width of the mounting studs – canti/vee studs tend to be wider.

    No, if you think about it the direct mount bosses are above the rim and cant’/v brake ones are below the rim.

    Thanks, yeah looking at how direct mount fit it’s fairly obvious that they won’t work.

    so many adds hiding the reply option……………..
