Difference btw. f & r XT V-brakes?

[Colin]

Hi,

I found these older Xt V-brakes for sale, but they are listed as "front only." I didn't realize there was a difference f & r. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks!

There is no difference. They come labeled front and rear because they don't want people mounting them with the brake pads backwards. Swap the sides the pads and holders are on and you have a rear set.

Figured as much. Thanks.
