After a lot of research I have found one (and only one): Paul Cross Levers. <br><br>They are quite expensive (around $100 for a set), but they have an adjustment so that the pivot point of the lever can change, which allows you to swap between compatibility for v-brake/disc brake and standard road brakes. I haven't actually tried these myself as I couldn't justify the cost, and have been disappointed previously with paul's neo retro brakes (terrible spring adjustment). <br /><br><a href="http://www.paulcomp.com/crosslever.html" rel="nofollow">Here's the link!</a><br /><br>Anyway, you posted many months ago but hopefully this will help someone out in the future!bluiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741053663831479232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-79261602584586397752008-11-11T08:25:00.000-07:002008-11-11T08:25:00.000-07:00Hey Sneak97 - I'm sorry I don't know about any cro...Hey Sneak97 - I'm sorry I don't know about any cross levers that work with v-brakes. I've never used them so I don't really follow their product development. I'd ask on a cyclocross forum - I wouldn't be surprised if such a beast existed.Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-1203227303838235062008-11-11T06:31:00.000-07:002008-11-11T06:31:00.000-07:00Do you know of any bar-top levers (like the Cane C...Do you know of any bar-top levers (like the Cane Creek Crosstop levers) that work with V-brakes? That seems to be a missing part (just in case, that there is some space left for additional brake levers).<BR/><BR/>BTW: the HS 33 is a hydraulic rim brake, but the service issues will be similar to hydraulic discs.tuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541628613021953875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-23281311426052935422008-11-10T13:46:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:46:00.000-07:00I wouldn't consider using hydraulic discs on a tou...I wouldn't consider using hydraulic discs on a touring bike because they are not easily field serviceable.Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-18522844270828149242008-11-10T13:40:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:40:00.000-07:00I'd go for HS33 hydrolic brakes.Whynot talking abo...I'd go for HS33 hydrolic brakes.<BR/><BR/>Whynot talking about hydrolic brakes?Otto Van De Steenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584910823575254892noreply@blogger.com
