Ah, so they're for adjusting pull for V's?
Yes as far as I’m aware.
Can’t see how removing them would allow canti use but happy to learn if that’s the case.

Here's the explenation of the movable cablehanger inside the lever. These levers are both canti and V ready (and maybe even disc). When the shims are removed the hanger can move closer to the pivot. As I want to sell the STi's as complete I included them but for canti's these should be removed.
I know the added instruction is not the same lever but same principle. Remember the Avid adjustable cable hanger to use with both canti and V’s. This was a simple copy of this Shimano design.That’s not a M739 lever , nor the same shim wedge design. I see your logic as it’s similar but that’s not a instruction manual for M739
When the -M739 ones are removed the cable end slides downwards as the lever is pulled. This one appears to have a linkage to stop that. Unless you are suggesting they are to be put in above the cable ending to stop it sliding?
Were disc road brakes around in 1996 when M739 came out?
