I'm asking because I could get some Avid discs which are meant for use with road levers (not the standard type of avid disc brake - I think these were sold as OEM parts to some manufacturers like Giant) - they are short pull, but I'd like to use them on a mountain bike with dual-shift XTR levers. If its a problem, I'll just go with normal Avid discs, since they arent that much more expensive, but my curiousity sparked the question.
Sure, the
inline Travel Agent can be installed in either direction, depending on whether you want to step up or down.
This would be a bit of a Rube Goldberg kluge though, and if you consider the cost of the Travel Agents, I don't see how it could be cheaper unless you already own the "road" calipers.
