so…I got some dirt drops…
but i still have V brakes on the bike and need a lever that will work with that!
can I switch to cantis on here? what would I need to run them?
For brifters you’ll need cantis or V-brake x travel agent collbo
If you don’t have shifty bits just get some of those fugly Tektro V levers.
no shifty bits here!
DQ thread is where this goes.
That said.
Tektro v-levers ain’t so bad, that or travel agents.
i got some dia-compe v-levers, they were great in the hand and stopped quite well. never used the tektros, so i can’t make a comparison.
I can attest from personal experience that travel agents make braking fucking suck.
Go with the Tecktros.
cane creek also makes some v-levers. i like them. getting some once my tax return shows up
Are the cane creek levers softish like the higher end shimano brifters? I hate the hard plastic feel of tektros.
Tektro V-levers are quite nice, IMO. I think travel agents work very well when you set them up correctly. These are more or less your only options.
the cane creek levers aren’t that soft, just a hood over hard plastic, but theyre not hard by my standards either. i like them because i have large hands and the tops are nice and broad. similar to a campy brifter, but actually comfortable.
feh. im going to try and order some paul levers…
I also need a bigger chainring. like at least a 36 or 38?
