Title: Tech 3 Lever with V Brake
Post by: Knoxxy on March 21, 2012, 04:17 PM

Can anyone advise whether a Tech 3 lever will work with a modern V type brake?
I know V brakes need more cable pull than old cantis.

Anyone tried it?

Tried with a Tech 4, crap. Was ok on a U brake though, but shit on a V brake.
