_95.html (bottom of page)See article here on drops/v-brake combo (mentions Travel
Agent as well as Dia Compe brakes designed for the job):An option not mentioned in this article is that of mini-V-
brakes. These are designed to work with less cable pull and
so need no adapters to work with standard drops. Tektro do
one of these and I think there is another brand out there.
They were, a few months ago at least, very difficult to get
hold of. My LBS failed to get a pair because even the
official distributors (Raleigh) didn't know what they were---
they are in their catalogue! They were reviewed in C+
(positively) a few months ago and in Cycle (negatively) a
couple of months ago.Colin

halfway down. I've got them on my tourer. Work OK though the
cable seems to need tightening about every third day.--
