Mechanical disc brake levers should be the same pull ratio as v brakes. I think it will work.
Which brakes are you useing?
Which brakes are you useing?
LX V-brakes with LX mechanical disc brake levers.
The levers are dependant on wether or not I win an e-bay auction. The LX v-brakes are in the mail. They come with levers but the ones I'm looking at winning on ebay come with the 8spd shifter pods I need.
Yes mech disc levers will work with V-brakes. You just can't use canti levers with either. As long as they are either V-brake or mech disc they are the same lever.
Your buying 8s sti pods? Just be sure that the levers aren't designed for canti's. Shorter cable pull, but you prob know that. If they are short-pull, Avid makes a cable disc designed to work with short-pull levers on CX bikes.
Wow ok thanks
Here's the auction I won.

Actually another option I have is if it's possible to just use the pods because I already have the brakes and levers. I wonder if they are useable seperate.
Can't tell which brake levers those are from the picture, but you used to be able to buy aftermarket clapms to seperate Shimano STI pods.
Those look like the old canti levers, from the length of the levers. The v-brake levers usually aren't that long. I could be wrong but they def look like canti levers to me.
