Pax Velo has a shop? Or are you talking about Mike's?
Good to see another person from (or around) the area!
These are V-brakes. I swapped on a spare rear wheel (which has made me realize just how bad I let the bearings get on my other one...this is my workhorse bike...) and it also flexes. Thinking maybe I borked up something putting it in the dropouts. Rode in fine, though, so I'll check when I get home. While redoing the brakes I also discovered it's time to regrease the bearing nubs.
Busy bike weekend ahead...good.

EDIT: While we're on the subject of centering screws, how do I 'reset' those v-brake centering screws that are on each pivot? They've managed to find themselves in interesting positions.
