Evening chaps, come closer to the screen as I have a question...
Are BL M600 levers like the ones shown in my pic V and canti compatible? A websearch says they might, but Sheldon Brown suggests two entirely different cable lengths being pulled, so I'm confused.
The reason why I'd like to know is I've acquired a 1997 Max OR Neil Orrell frame with a canti bridge at the rear. My ambition is to have a cantilever brake at the rear and V at the front with...matching levers.
These Lx's might be a solution, as I've got them and they might work;
or:
- Get hold of other equally compatible Shimano levers preferably XT, XTR or other makes (?)
- Start saving up for a Paul canti lever and Paul V lever, as they look very similar.
All help gratefully received.
