The difference is how much cable they pull. I might be wrong but I think mtb levers pulling road brakes is more likely to work than the other way round since you just reach the bite point of the brakes faster. Using road levers with standard v-brakes theres a risk that the lever wont be able to pull enough cable.

That is what I also suspect, what was making me think is that I thought V-brake levers were not supposed to work with caliper brakes (which is then the current set-up on my gf bike and which is working totally fine). Nevermind, thanks for pointing towards the FL740!
