The front one will take some height under the stem (around 5mm), thus forcing you to play with raisers. The back one will have to fit your bolt-on screw (different sizes exist) OR you need a special clamp-on ring.... Harris Cyclery has that kind of stuff but it can be a real pain in the a.. to identify the perfect setup... Life is easier with v-brakes than cantis, if you dot have road brake levers of course.
