road levers are short pull.. flat bar levers are either short (Canti or Side pull, mostly Old brake levers)or long pull (V-Brake or MTB Disc)...
Avid makes convertible pull ratio levers. "Avid Speed Dial" are variable.
check caliper pull by measuring from the center of the pivot point on the caliper arm to the cable clamp surface...
30mm or so is short pull, 36mm or more is long pull.
check lever pull by measuring from the lever's pivot to cable pull/pivot point.
if the lever has a cable stirrup, use the stirrup's pivot pin at the lever...
26mm or so is short pull, 32mm or more is long pull.
the brake Cables will be the MTB style.
