I have known a guy in the past riding a GT LTS with deore XTR 952 groupset and vbrakes at a competition level, his vbrakes after a whole competition season needed a complete rebuilt and he had to change pads every month, the mountings mounts on his gt frame didn't suffer damage but the brakes always needed constant attention.I have seen MTB frames with Vbrake mounts that didn't suffer any damage despite being not babied. Maybe I am wrong.
