I've put Tektro Mini V's on my CX - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...&ModelID=34580 Works with normal levers. Diacompe also make some, http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-D...rake-18257.htm I also found these http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-T...-Deg-18060.htm useful for fitting and adjusting them.
