1) There should be three holes on the Canti boss for the brake return spring. Try one of the other holes to reduce the return pressure.
2) Tektro Mini-V brakes are susposed to work with regular levers. I haven't tried them to find out.
3) Canti pads are available at my local Wal-Mart, beleive it or not.
