Guess I didn't make myself clear.  I meant to swap and reverse actual brake
*shoes*, not the *shoe holders*.  On Campies, the shoe slides out of it's
holder quite readily, with a little help from some pliers.  Slide it out of
the shoe holder and slide it back in backwards to reverse it.  Swapping
right -- left is necessary for non-parallel rims (the majority) only.
