I'm sure someone can help me here - I'm stripping down a frame that has Avid V-brakes fitted at both ends (one pair is a 10, the other a 1D I think). Anyway, both pairs seem to have a fitting on the bosses that I haven't come across before. Will post a picture when I get the chance, but it seems like there's a large 'sleeve' that slides over the boss, leaving quite a large square-shaped piece sitting over the bosses between the main part of the V-brake and the frame/fork (and the tension spring doesn't seem to be sitting in one of the three holes like normal). Anyone have any idea what this is, or how I get it off? Each one seems firmly attached to the boss, though it may just need unscrewing/brute force, I haven't really tried yet!
