From your comment, I assumed you were concerned that a V brake might not fit on your large fender over a large tire. That was why I made the point about the brake arm length, if it is too short the cable or brake would rub on the fender.
I am using regular brake levers with V brakes, which you are not supposed to do but it can be done if you install Travel Agents. And there was a Travel Agent in the photo, that was why I mentioned the cable pull issue. If you get brake levers that have the correct cable pull for V brakes, you should be good with V brakes.
Perhaps I should have stayed silent on the Travel Agent and skipped the photo, perhaps the photo and reference to the Travel Agen may have added more confusion to the discussion?
