I've been riding a cyclocross/commuter Fuji with some group rides. My bike came with mini-v brakes (926) (flat bar levers, linear pull), and these have been fine, but I'm thinking of slowly moving my components over to a carbon fiber frame. Eventually upgrading other components, I would end up with 2 bikes.
But in the meantime, I'd like to have something rideable-- the difficulty lies in that most carbon frames aren't equipped with bosses for v-brakes, and I understand that using v-brake levers with your usual road calipers is generally a no-no.
The only solution I see is to get some of those flat bar caliper brake levers-- or am I wrong, is there another way?
I understand that Tektro makes a lever set supposedly compatible with both v-brakes and calipers, (289a), is that right?
Advice, suggestions, etc?
Oh, and btw, I'm new here, seems like a nice forum.
