Vintage Levers with New Brakes?

[Matthew Williams]

Hi everyone,

Will these vintage levers work with a modern pair of Tektro V-brakes/linear-pull brakes?

[Joe Bernard]

Nope, you need long-pulls. You can have these for shipping (should be less than $10) if you just need something that works for cheap. Tektro with the graphics wearing off and lean-against-the-fence rub on the ends, but all there and good. Adjustable for pull ratio, too, but will come to you set up for v-brakes.

One of my levers failed so I just replaced it with a spare. At some point I'll probably upgrade to a set of Pauls or an equivalent.

Thanks very much for the information and the offer, Joe!
