Before too awfully long, that same bike will also have a front canti and the travel agent will be relegated to what I originally bought it for (so I could use a bar end shifter with my Nexus internal gear hub) or put into a drawer.<br /><br />In my case, the travel agent DOES work with the road lever, but I would not call it ideal. It DOES work better with road levers than nothing which is the way Specialized equipped the bike.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-17162309957682636722011-01-29T01:37:34.263-06:002011-01-29T01:37:34.263-06:00One of the biggest bike-related lies I was ever to...One of the biggest bike-related lies I was ever told was "Oh, yeah, the V-brakes will work fine with road levers as long as you use a Travel Agent."<br /><br />When I rode it, my brake shoe was literally that--a shoe. Specifically, the one that was on my right foot that day. The bike and I survived that day because my shoe didn't.<br /><br />Needless to say, I put the old cantis back on that bike!Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-1632514669979291862011-01-27T14:49:17.026-06:002011-01-27T14:49:17.026-06:00Spoon brakes huh?
