Should work fine with your levers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4560#post-48402 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:25:06 +0000 kaputnik 48402@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@smudge - I've just read <a href="http://johnthemonkey.tumblr.com/post/13293478590/ird-cafam-cantilevers">this tumblr post</a> from John The Monkey about better cantis for an LHT </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4560#post-48399 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:00:47 +0000 Smudge 48399@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm considering whether or not to try canti's on my Surly LHT (the springs on my no name V brakes are getting pretty tired and will need sorting soon) and wondered if anyone has any recommendations as to the most attractive/reliable/powerful/lightest etc :)<br /> The bike has Dia-compe 287v levers btw. </p>
