I could do with recommendations/suggestions for brake levers for Cantilever brakes.
Most levers I see today are labelled for "V brakes", which take different cable pull to cantilevers. I need to replace a combined brake/shifter on a bike which uses cantilever brakes.
I the "good old days", levers came with a two-position coupling for the cable, one for V, the other for cantilever. Do any of the common makers still do those ? Ideally with some reach adjustment as its for a rider with small hands.
I'm not totally stuck, I could remove the "good old days" levers from my MTB, fit it with V-specific levers. But would rather not.

I have some old DiaCompe Power Control 7 canti-specific levers I no longer use: reach-adjustable and in good working order. Nice levers but I've had my money's worth out of them and won't use them again so free to a good home.

Sounds like they would do me nicely. Please send email to ncliffe at btinternet dot com and we can sort out the details of addresses, postage, etc.
