I just installed Tektro Mini-Vs on my touring bike today. They work fine with road levers, mine are cheap Tektro road levers. They are a tight fit on my setup. I'm running Panaracer 37mm tires with Freddy Fenders. The cable cover does touch the fenders, but the brakes work fine. Excellent braking power on the front, a bit mushy on the rear. I may be able to fine tune that a bit. One alternative may be better cable housings to get rid of the mushyness. Bottom line--they work fine with road levers.
