v-brake, shifter...
hi
i live in canada, quebec
my bike is a Diamondback Axis (old bike)
i have a deore LX rear derailleur
and a deore XT front derailleur
my shifter and my cassette have 7 speed
my shifter / brake lever are shimano stx
i think my shifter and brake lever is linked...
i have cantilever brake
i would like to change my cantilever brake for v-brake...
i surely need to change my shifter ?
are there any brake lever/shifter (7 speed) who support v-brake?
on ebay i only find shifter over 7 speed...
i would like to buy v-brake and shifter/ brake lever who is done for 7 speed... i'm not able to find a store on the web who sale that
can i buy shifter who support 8 or 9 speed and use it on my bike? (some speed will not be used)
does any rear derailleur is able to set to 8,9 speed?
thanks

As for shifters, check out this link for some 7 speed shifters that will probably work with your 7 speed setup. The brake levers on the Altus 7 speed set are designed for V-brakes. I'd also go to Sheldon Brown's Website for some advice on conversion to v-brake (I'm sure he's got something there).
