@Mr_B
When it comes to Canti vs Mini-V vs V, surely the lever type comes into play?
For instance, the MTB Vs are powerful enough on my Pomp with drops, but if I'm honest they were far more powerful when used with the original levers on a flat-bar bike.
Are certain rim brake systems suited more to drop levers (regardless of whether the lever has been re-engineered to correct cable pull, a la RL520s)?
One more point;
If I ran flat bars on my Pomp, I'd run Magura HS33s. They remain the best rim brake ever.
