I have a set of Tektro RL 340s on my bike, which are lovely and comfortable on the hoods, and have nicely shaped levers - they just feel right.
However, my wide cantilever brakes get in the way of my back pannier a bit because they stick out a bit - a problem I could solve by getting V brakes (which are allegedly easier to set up and are more effective?)
I know the cable pull is different between V brakes and cantis - although I don't know which pulls more - so what issues would I have if I kept the RL340s? I know the RL 520s aren't much, btw - I was just wondering.
