    I started a post about Bacchetta brakes and levers a while back.There was some confusion about the
    levers since the rear brake is a V-brake and the front is a road brake. After looking more closely
    at my brake levers,which have the Bacchetta name on them,made by some else I'm sure, I noticed that
    there are 2 holes for the cable in the lever. The rear brake cable is in the top hole giving more
    cable pull for the V-brake and the front cable is in the lower hole giving less cable pull for the
    road brake. Unfortunately The cable mount is rivited in the hole so it can't be easily changed. I
    ordered a set of Avid adjustable pull levers so I can experiment with changing the cable pull for
    the brakes. ben fox
