Am I a dumbass?
Still pretty novice at replacing parts, just learning as I go.
My front v-brake's spring/spring arm finally lost tension and snapped when I tried to fix it, so I ordered a new front brake.
I wondered about sizing but none of the brakes I was looking at had rim sizing noted so I got lazy and assumed one-size-fits-all without really thinking about it.
They came in today, and I went to put them on, but I can't get the noodle to slip into it's holder, the pads press the rim a good ways before the noodle gets into slip-in territory.
Do I have any hope of adjusting this to fit or did my dumb ass go and buy too small of a brake? (Acera BR-M422, no sizing indicated anywhere on packaging or website).
I'm not sure how measuring the rim's thickness works but I'm currently running 700x32 tires.
