tektro rx 2.0 cyclocross brake levers

are these only for normal canties or can they be switched for v-brakes (like some other tektro
levers)? I asked tektro but they didn't reply.

i think theyre just for cantis/normal sidepulls/etc. the paul levers have a choice between cable
pull for both types of brakes, but the tektros dont. i have both. the tektros are quite nice, but do
you need them for v-brakes?

you could always use one of those adapters that fit at the brake. the tektros are far cheaper than
the paul, at least last time i checked, and buying the tektro lever set/brake adapter might be
cheaper than the pauls. could be wrong here. just a thoguht.

or you could use cantis. solid.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Yes v-brakes.

Don't these give a spongy feeling to the brakes? I think I'll experiment a little with normal cheap
mtb levers I have laying around. Saw the clamps of and replace it with wider clamps??

Pauls (and others) are very nice but way to pricy for what is really a simple brake lever.

I like cantis, but I like v-brakes even better.

Thanks for your help.
