Can one use v-brake levers w/ canti brakes? I know the reverse can be
problematic because canti levers can't pull enough. I've got a set of old
WTB roller cams I want to use but don't got canti levers.

Don't see why not - the bigger problem will be mounting canti's on any
recent-vintage fork (no hanger).

Thanks. I've kept a 96 Judy XC w/ Shockbone - which still works pretty
decent. Also got a seatpost cable hanger thingie.

You can try it to see if it works. If you run in problems (i.e. too
senstive), there is a small reduction pulley system you can buy for the
conversion called a "travel agent." Your LBS should be able to hook you up.

That's not what its for...unless you've got a sneaky way to adapt it to do
the opposite of what its supposed to do (and somehow hook up to a canti
brake).
