canti to V brakes on older MTB
Some questions about doing the conversion:
1- I read somewhere that this can be done if the brake posts are 80mm apart. Is there any give on this? I have just a shade more, maybe 85.
2- I cannot use the levers from the old set-up, right? Can they ever be used? Will they work at all?
3- Anything else I may not be anticipating?
I have a decent set of V's ready to bolt on. I have levers too, but I would like to use the old ones if possible.
many thanks,
jim
