Brake levers?

(1/2) > >>

Moose:
Why are some not 'V' brake compatible?

Rombloke:
surely all levers are compatible with all brakes...doesnt it just depend on the cable ends at the lever....?????

Dave

Moose:
My thoughts exactly, so why do some say 'V' brake compatible' or 'Not V-Brake compatible'?

Dingobmxer:
Its the distance from the pivot point of the lever to where the cable is situated, (& how much cable is pulled) there are two different  types, use the wrong one and the brakes are mushy and dont work
Hope this helps?
 :) DINGO :)

theRuler:
v brakes require a different pull length
if you use normal levers they just dont get the pull right
