10/10

HoKe for your sake I hope you're fast.

Nope I'm fat and slow...

Can't wait to race you next season!

At least I'll look fast when I lose to you ;)

Needs dizz decals on the wheels to complete the logo-overload effect

Some alex rims stickers?

You mean you're not happy with your current crabon bike that's a 100% improvement over your old Cannondale?

Does anyone know if I can use a problem solvers travel adaptor the wrong way round, as in to use caliper brakes with a v brake lever?

One of these, but at the lever end rather than the brake end.

Oh and before some tells me to get a new lever, it's a custom double lever so no.

Get a new brake.

whichever end you put it at, it's still going to magnify cable pull.

have you considered using an inverse shim?

Not if you put it the other way round, it will make it less. Or so I think, just wandering it everything will fit properly.

Oh I can't get new brakes as these are the only ones that fit. I hoping that this will give a bit better modulation and braking power.

Interested to see if it works.

I think you're better off using the disc version;

Who sells that in the uk? can't find anyone.

Internet was too slow so I bought the angled ones, will report back when fitted.

My favorite bike.

^ Not sure about the cosmics to be honest. Would look mental in full c-record and shamals though. Make it happen Gaston!

it has already been done 1000 times no ?

Amazing looking.

Those forks are bizarre, in a good way.

Pretty sure that it'll work fine.

The issue is when you're using normal caliper/cantilever levers with v-brakes. V-brakes require more pull so caliper/cantilever levers don't pull enough which then gives you almost no braking until it locks up the brakes.

With a v-brake lever you're going to be pulling too much cable. Which just means your brakes are a bit more sensitive which you can adapt to.

What type of bike is it? If you're not willing to pay for a different lever then I assume it's not a performance issue so I'd just live with it.

This. Rep applied.
