Wanted LONGSHOT Shhimano XT V-brake lever modulation shims

[minor_LEGEND]

I don't know what to call them, like a little plastic half-moon shim or insert that can be removed/added to alter the cable actuation on XT V-brake levers (739/750)
I have managed to lose the shims from one lever & thus my fr brake is crazy snatchy, bordering on dangerous.

Anyone have anything knocking about or know the part no?

Get use to it, enjoy the extra modulation and power.

P. S Unless the click when it switches to high power annoys you. The click/switchover happens when it hits the rims, alter that with the cable adjuster to alter the bite point.


I will have a look though, probably binned them all, could be lucky.

Apparently call 'adjustment blocks' and come in left and right versions.

Thanks for the extra info. Nah I hate it.

I’ll have a look. I think I may have them.

These things?

You're welcome to them for postage.
It's interesting people's different opinions, I'll never put them back, the brakes feel shit to me with them.

Found them but looks like I beaten to it. Let me know if you want a spare set.

The only place I have used them is on the rear, and then only one of them. On that bike it was to use the bike to drag the brake easier as it lacked any sort of real stopping power. ;-)
(and my young son was using it)
