Well it must be summer as I've hauled the OHs bike out from the rear of the shed.
I've never been able to get the brakes to work very well on it, mainly I think because it has crap plastic-bodied cantilevers on it from 1989. So I've binned them (and kept the decent pads I put on last summer) and put on some old v-brakes I had lying around on. The thing is I don't know if they're mini-V or (maxi?) V. She needs new brake levers anyway as I've changed the bars and the old ones don't fit, so I need to know if I want direct-pull levers or normal ones.
Is there a definitive measurement that tells you if brakes are mini or normal V?
Cheers
