Nice build and i ran in to the break issue too .. cantaliver have a short pull ratio vs V-brakes requires a long pull lever ...
Yep! Thank you for your comment.
when it doesn't work, grab the drill and make it work! nice job.
Yep! :) Thank you very much for the comment.
You would want mini-V brakes if you want to run linear pull with short pull levers. But you figured that out.
As long as the caliper brakes you installed work well, you’re good to go.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion. It is working ok but I will look further into mini v-brakes.
are these bikes made in the USA?
I believe this one was made in Taiwan.
The handlebar isn't set right. Those ztto brakes are very weak, get some cantilever ones if you intend to ride this bike.
Thanks for the comment! I would appreciate further insights on the handlebar setup. The cantilevers don’t match the lever’s pull rate. I need a C caliper. If the Zitto’s don’t work, I may need to try a different brand.
@@frugalcyclists cantilever brakes and c-brakes have the same pull ratio, only v-brakes are different. I think the straddle cable wasn't set right on those canti brakes and the pads didn't have all the shims they should have.
Handlebars should be turned more forward, so that the drop ends are nearly horizontal, that also brings the hoods closer to the rider (if you move them up, obviously).
Also, drop handlebar width doesn't affect stability much, but for best comfort it should match shoulder width.
v -brakes won't work with brifters without a problem solvers. i would of done canti's and left the pedals alone.
Thanks for the comment and suggestions!
