I have not used the Tektro levers, which in general are just so so. These are Cane Creek V brake levers, similar design to an older Tektro design, but nicer materials and finish. These work well. Wider and longer than the diacompe hoods, good for bigger hands or folks who are over the 'aero' brake lever shape. These brakes are not designed for short pull levers. Mini V brakes in general are kinda wacky, you have to run the brake pads really close to the rim, and they have poor mud/untru wheel clearance.
Well set up, low profile cantis are very powerful, and if one is looking for short pull levers + canti's, that's the direction I'd suggest looking. Lower profile than Paul's touring. Look up the old Paul stop lites, they're perfect in terms of power. Something similar in design would produce similar results. Shimano Altus... pretty great cheapo brake if you upgrade the pads and ditch the lawyer straddle wire. On Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 1:48:34 PM UTC-5, Brett Callahan wrote: > > Same question.
