Has anyone ever used the Campy mini-V, or any mini for that matter? http://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/groupsetdetail/item_freniVELcantilever_catid_1.jsp

I've heard some say that you can use the Ergo levers and some say no.

Go to the page in your link, and click on the instruction document link. (a PDF file).
Read it and you find it states they must be used *only* with the Ergopower *FB* (Flat Bar), controls.

And if you pull up the PDF of specifications, you find there are two different versions of the FB controls: One version for caliper brakes, and one version for linear-pull cantilever brakes.
