Nah I just have them set up probably about 2mm from the rim and compressionless housing for the back brake (because I ran out). To be honest I’ve never ran v-brakes with road levers so don’t know how they’re supposed to feel when they’re good or bad. I thought you needed a travel agent too but a few forum posts suggested that with the parallel pull versions like these you didn’t need to. They have less travel in the levers than my cable disc brakes and feel very sharp, way less flex than the cantis on my other rigid mtb. I haven’t tried in the wet yet though !
Are you running a travel agent or similar with those brakes? I'm surprised they feel alright with road levers but who cares if it works! Nice looking build.
