Wal Mart Schwinn bike brake levers have long pull (v brake)/short pull adjustment???
I was just pretty surprised to see this!!! I guess sometimes it really does cost a lot less to manufacture a million of one thing instead of a half a million of 2 things.
That said, I wonder if they just set them at the factory or if Wal Mart employees are ever asked to go in and change it.

With the way I have seen some (x)-Mart bikes assembled I hope they do not touch the brakes!

A $10 pair of V-brake levers that I bought a couple years back, manufacturer unknown, has both holes drilled, but a rivet goes through the V-brake hole holding the rest in place. I guess they're not easily changeable, and nobody's going to put these on a flat bar road bike...
