Fair point, but the shape remains idiotic, the more so given that their MTB brake has straight arms which should be curved while their Mini-V has curved arms which should be straight.

TRP CX8.4 is half the price and made by a company which knows how to stick to their knitting, placing the Paul ones firmly in the more money than sense camp.

And you should know, front V-brake with road bike lever, it's ok (cable and wire are really short, and the difference of run for the cable between V-brake et Canti, isn't problem). For the rear, it's another thing.

Cable length is irrelevant - MTB V-brakes with road levers have the wrong leverage ratio. Long, compressible, housings can make the position irretrievable, whereas short cables mean they will just about work, but not in a nice way. Some people might like brakes which can't be adjusted to give decent rim clearance without the lever coming back to the bar, but there's no accounting for taste.
