I understand that direct pull cantilever, V brakes, have more
mechanical advantage than other brakes and the levers are made to have
less advantage so that the braking force is in a useful range. If I
were to mount road caliper brakes which have less mechanical advantage
which levers would I use?
This is for a flat bar commuting/city bike so road levers are not an
option but the V-brake levers will lessen the braking ability. The
reason for the query is that most forks do not have the bosses for
V-brakes to mount to so v-brakes limit the choice of forks.
