Does anyone have any experience of using Travel Agents with V-Brake and Drop Levers?
I fitted a set to my old Galaxy with new XT V-Brakes and a set of Shimano 600 Levers and have not quite been able to get the brakes adjusted to a level that I am happy with.
I might just be doing something really stupid, but I'm thinking of ditching the whole idea. The basic problem is that I still think the amount of travel required from the levers is too much and I can't get enough force onto the brakes.
I do have an old set of cantilevers in the shed, but wanted that little bit extra braking force for when the bike is fully laden (given I'm a sizeable chap too!).
