If you put a V on the back, you will also need one on the front. Your choices seem to be to either keep you current brake levers and go with the mini-V's or go with standard V's and replace your current brake levers the Tektro drop bar V levers. OTOH, if you could give us a photo of your current setup. We might be able to come up with something that will work better than what you are dealing with now.
