how is one supposed to tell the difference on these? do they look different or is there some marking or and extra this or that? thanks
 
on bikepro.com, kooka lists two types of racha levers. one is vbrake specific. i want to know how to tell the difference between the two unmounted.
 
As far as I can remember ( there'll be an expert along in a moment ) the only way I could tell them apart was in the flesh and by using a short length of brake cable marked at 32mm from the barrel adjuster. This is how much cable a V brake lever will pull. Caliper and cantilever brake levers only pull 22mm. Hope this helps. The tree gag was about how ineffectual the non-V levers are when paired to V brakes. :LOL:
 
the pivot and the anchor point for the cable end will be greater on the v brake lever then the normal lever.
 
Here´s mines, maybe it could help you:

Red/Silver are the canti version, the Green/Black ones are the v´s.

Best regards.
