FISCHER V-brake Brake Shoe, screw-mounted for aluminium and steel rims, DIN EN 14766, 1 piece

The FISCHER V-brake Brake Shoe is a single screw-mounted replacement pad designed for rim brake systems on bicycles. Made to the DIN EN 14766 standard, this brake shoe is suitable for use on both aluminium and steel rims and provides the necessary braking contact surface for V-brake calipers. Supplied as one piece, it is intended for straightforward replacement or repair when an individual pad is needed.

Advantages

This screw-mounted brake shoe offers compatibility with aluminium and steel rims, ensuring consistent braking contact and predictable wear characteristics. Manufactured in accordance with DIN EN 14766, it meets established safety and performance guidelines for bicycle components. The single-piece supply allows targeted replacement of a worn or damaged pad without replacing the entire set, reducing waste and repair cost.

Suitable for

• Replacement of a single worn V-brake pad on bicycles with rim brakes
• Repair jobs where only one side requires a new brake shoe
• Workshops and home mechanics maintaining aluminium or steel rim wheels
• Bicycles that use screw-mounted V-brake pads rather than post-mounted cartridges

When it may not be suitable

This brake shoe is designed specifically for V-brake systems with screw-mounted pads and is not compatible with disc brake systems or cantilever brakes that require different pad types. It may not fit wheels with non-standard rim profiles or with integrated braking surfaces that require proprietary pads. If both pads on a wheel are equally worn, purchasing a matched pair instead of a single piece may be preferable for balanced braking.

Key specifications

• Mounting type: screw-mounted V-brake shoe
• Compatible rim materials: aluminium and steel
• Standards: manufactured to DIN EN 14766
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Loosen the screw fixing the existing V-brake shoe and remove the worn pad from the brake arm. Fit the FISCHER screw-mounted brake shoe into the same mounting position, align the pad so it contacts the rim squarely and does not touch tyre sidewalls, then tighten the screw to the manufacturer-recommended torque. Test brake operation at low speed and make small alignment adjustments if necessary to ensure even contact and avoid squeal. Regularly inspect pad wear and rim surface condition to maintain safe braking performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your bicycle uses screw-mounted V-brake pads rather than another mounting system
• Confirm rim material (aluminium or steel) and rim profile compatibility
• Decide whether a single replacement pad is sufficient or if you should buy a matched pair
• Check brake arm clearance and pad size to ensure proper fit and alignment

Usage recommendations

Install this FISCHER V-brake shoe as part of routine maintenance when pad thickness is reduced or braking performance declines. For even braking and longer pad life, inspect and clean the rim braking surface periodically, replace pads in pairs when both sides show similar wear, and avoid contaminating the pad surface with lubricants or cleaning agents intended for chains and drivetrain parts.
