It's important that the OP use V-brake shoes, not road. While road and V-brake shoes mount the same way there are two important differences.

Road shoes usually have much shorter heights (thicknesses) so the brake will be closed farther when engaged. This matters because brakes move in an arc so when closed more than the design calls for the shoe motion is downward at an angle (picture movement at noon on a clock vs. 11 or 10 o'clock) and brake performance will be sub par.

Also the longer shoes used on V-brakes help prevent the chatter (squeal) caused by slop in the pivot. Road brakes can be set for near zero play and will work with shorter shoes, but there's no way to eliminate play in canti or V-brakes. The longer shoes used on these aren't because the makers don't have a bunch of cheap rubber laying around.
