And herein lies the source of my confusion - they work just as well with the mini V-brakes on my 700c bike as they do on my folding bike with its 20" wheels. And by "well" I mean plenty of stopping power, a nice, solid feel and great modulation (for a rim brake, that is.)
The black lever is mated with with the black mini-V brake arm on my 700c bike; and the silver lever actuates the gray V-brake arm on my folding bike's 406mm wheel:
Nevermind the branding or the finish - both levers are physically identical in every way, including pivot radius:
My other folding bike, the one with the mechanical disk brakes, also has identical levers. Caliper pivot to cable anchor point: 31.8mm (or thereabouts.)
So, Spyke it is and keep the same levers, then, is what I'm hearing you say?
