Will any Shimano V brake fit any v brake lever and any v brake bike? I need to replace the V brake on this bike:


It uses Shimano EZ FIRE 40 brake levers, and has Shimano V brakes installed (Tektro TK837).

Can I replace these V brakes with any other V brakes available on the market (E.g. Shimano Deore BR-T780 XT V-brake), or are there compatibility issues to consider?

More generally, if a bike already has V brakes installed and working, can I just go ahead and fit any V brakes I find without having to worry about whether they will fit?
Yes, they all work together. Only exception is all mini V-brakes. They are not compatible with standard V-brakes.
