Brake help?
I want to put straight bars on my road bike.So I will have to buy Shimano 3x9 shifter/brake lever combo.But all that I have seen seem to be for Vbrakes with a long pull.Can these be adjusted to work on regular road bike brakes?If you have any ideas on what to do feel free to let me know.
