They fit very nicely with a 1mm spacer. Actually, if your frame came sans any parts like spacers I might be able to help you out as I bought a bunch 'just in case', you can order parts via Evans too (actually it's the only way BMC will do it and sadly Evans add a very real chunk on top of each price)
As for brake difficulty, they are really challenging to get right, ensure you cable your rear brake through the correct side of the frame and keep the outer cable as short as possible. This might sound like I'm stating the obvious but the STI to V-Brake translation can be unforgiving.
