Road Brake Levers and V-Brake Compatibility

[Triskeliongirl]

I never liked travel agents with v-brakes and sti levers. Too sloppy for my tastes. This is what I am now running on my touring bike, which I purchased from Harris Cylery. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/c...ers/index.html
They work great!:

Shimano BR-R550 Deluxe Cantis
BRC50 (F), BRC51(R)* $41.95 each
Premium centerpull cantilevers from Shimano.
Compatible with STI/Ergo brake/shifters.

Refillable V-brake type shoes, highly polished and lovely. (Photo doesn't do them justice.)

*Although these are designated as "front" and "rear" models, there's no actual difference. To convert "front" to "rear" or vice-versa, just swap the shoes from right to left.
