I am trying to install a brand new set of Avid Single Digit 7 v-brakes on the rear of my Surly 1x1. The bike is 2 years old and has had an SD7 on it before (I cannibalized it to build a Karate Monkey, now I'm rebuilding the 1x1 and using a new rear brake).
I slide the the arms onto the bosses, making sure the pin is in the center hole, and tighten to the specified torque using a torque wrench, but both arms are still loose on the bosses. They rattle around and slide up the bosses at least a millimeter.
I have lightly greased the bosses and the mounting bolt, am using the supplied washer and I just can't figure out why I can't get these things tight. I've tried adding another washer on top of the existig one and that doesn't do anything.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
