My two cents...I run Paul’s long V-brakes, with Cane Creek drop bar V-brake
levers. I put on long salmon mountain bike pads and the braking is phenomenally
powerful, but I have to deflate my tire to remove the wheels, as the pads don’t
clear the fork. They work better than my hydraulic discs on
Thanks for the response, James. The only mini-V's I've had luck with have
been Paul Moto-Lites, which I find to be wonderful. However, on my MIT
Atlantis, they won't clear the large rubber + fenders. Despite having set
up a number of canti brakes on a number of bikes, and having read reams of

Yup. They'd be long enough even if they were 44cm long or so. We've run
similar drivetrains before on shorter stay bikes.

They're long pull levers, Cane Creek modified with IRD shifter mounts.

Never had a quality issue with the Cane Creek levers. Replaceable hoods,
fine bushings, the rest is the same: stamped and formed aluminum, rubbery
hoods... They're wider and longer than the Diacompe levers and
erognomically work better with many bar bends.

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'
Thanks Doug! Candice is super creative with tape treatments. Lots of tie
dye, masking areas with plants as stencils... maybe we can post a guide
here.

the dia-compe drop v levers are better quality than the tektro/cane creeks,
though far from perfect. i'd love to find a way to use a better lever
without a travel agent also.

Same question. I'm running canti pull brake levers on my MIT Atlantis with
V-brakes, which requires a Travel Agent. I tried out the Tektro V-brake
levers and they are hot garbage. If the Bombshell brakes work with standard
levers, that would great!

are you using long pull levers, or do those bombshells function as mini-v's?

Are the chainstays long enough to allow use of all 9 cassette cogs with each
chainting, without cross-chaining becoming an issue?

James,
Thank you for sharing this unique drivetrain. And, the leaves on the grip
tape are cool as heck.
