I've got a set of Suntour XC-LTD cantilevers I took off a bike a number of years ago. I dug them out again recently only to discover that one side of each brake has a larger than normal pivot hole! I assume these must have had an extra bronze bushing or something in there that I've long since lost. I've been planning to sometime take the brakes and a digital caliper to the hardware store and see if I can scare up a bushing sleeve that works, but thought I'd find out what anyone else knows about these.


(FWIW, they came off when some plastic part broke and a bike dealer sold me a set of Nexave V-brakes ... except that those never worked right because he didn't advise me that they needed different levers! Now I can't think for the life of me why it'd have been that huge a problem for the plastic boot protecting the return spring to have been broken ....)
