IME yes. Extra friction on your brake cables doesn't feel nice.

I’ve been down this road with my Koga.
The short answer is, just get some flat bars you like. Tried all the types? Koga Denham for example? And then use nice levers, XTR or Avid BlackOps. Feels AMAZING
Long answer is, it’s possible to use normal road brake levers with standard (not mini) V brakes. You have to make sure the rims are very true, and take a little care setting up. I would imagine mud clearance isn’t too great either. But it works.

Does anyone have experience with v-brake Travel Agents? Do they suck?
