90mm Mini-V should put the wire about 60mm above the bead seat. I've got to fit some at the weekend so I could take a measurement π
The #tester_approved Mini-V is whichever Shimano one you can find, there are Sora (BR-R353), Tiagra (BR-R463) and 105 (BR-R573) quality versions but the main difference is that the Sora ones have the studs moulded into the pads, which you can fix with XT shoes for less than the premium charged for the Tiagra ones. Other than that it's just finish quality.
@mdcc_tester what rim brakes do you recommend for running with road levers and 35mm tyres + guards? Budget isnβt crazy, but this will eventually be my best bike. Do mini v brakes allow clearance up to 45mm? Cheers
