Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

What brakes and levers do you have now? As a guideline:

Cantilever, caliper and "road" mechanical disc brakes use short pull levers.

V-brakes and "MTB" mechanical disc brakes use long pull levers.

Some "shorty" V's use short pull levers.

Newer Shimano road levers (11-speed groups) use an intermediate pull lever but closer to long pull.
