Center pull brakes. they will have more leverage than side pull type, as lever arm is on the opposite side of the brake
from the pivot. So will be an easier grip.. would use the same brake lever as for cantilevers, on the straight-bars.
Do require a housing stop attached to the steerer tube, on the fork, and the rear seat post bolt
will usually support a brake hanger for the rear brake's housing stop.
