What brake levers are people running on their pompinos? I have drop levers (old shimano ones) like the below but they are a pain in the arse to set up with v brakes. Perhaps the pull ratio is off? Either the lever throw is massive or the pads rub on the rims, and it's bloody frustrating to fettle them. They're also not very comfy, I'd prefer a longer hood... The brakes are cheap shimano ones set up by my lbs, and I'm assured they're fine with drop levers.
