I am upgrading from cantilever to V-brakes. How do I mount my new Avid V-brakes on my old frame? Clamps? Where? Thank you!

V brakes use the same bosses that your canti's do
just take off the old brakes and whack on the new ones

Thanks bro,

DRun the cable along the top tube as you would with your cantis.
You should be fine. It will be patently obvious when you get the parts.
