I can remmebr when V-brakes first came out and they were incompatible with the centre puill levers - not enough pull - there was some gadget you can attach to the cable to alter the brake pull.
you are going the oppositve (centre pull with V-lever) so presumably ytou will have hte oppostite problem - too much pull?
try it, if it doesn;lt work, you can buy V-brakes really cheaply as disc brakes is what is in vogue.
