Question Cyclocross levers with V-Brakes

Hi have just picked up a Air wing TT bar for my Kona SS convert, but am having problems fitting my existing levers.
I have looked around and spotted the Tektro RX 2.0 cyclocross levers, which I think would suit my rig fine, my question is though, will these levers work with V-type brakes?

I am happy with my V's, and don't really want to swap back to calipers if I can help it.

Will these levers pull the appropriate amount of cable through?

Default Say No to Tektro

I have the Salsa cyclocross levers on my touring bike - they work fine with V-brakes. I have encountered the Tektro cyclocross levers on a Novara Element cyclocross bike and they seemed pretty crappy. I would recommend going with the Salsas or Cane Creek instead.
