Ha!Keep feeding Mickey ideas!!
Exactly ! With the exception of the Bontrager , all the other offerings are disqualified !!!!!!!!Isn't one major characteristic of V-brakes that the boss (fitting to the frame / forks) is lower than the brake pad.
Going to get all nerdy now.....OK, so we all know nothing is new in cycling.....but

A lot of the mega vintage stuff is not the same, the pivot point on the frame is roughly half way up the brake arms and
the brake pad on the lower portion. Like roller cams, U brakes, center-pulls etc. etc.
I always figured the "v" is the line from centre of hub through pivot point to where cable connects? It's pretty much a perfect straight line!
Get a straight edge and have a look,even with arms straight the point where cable clamps and where noodle pivots from then through pivots it forms a perfect v to centre of hub!It shouldn't be if the arms are straight up!
