Long-Pull (V-Brake) Levers with 31.8mm clamp?
Hi all,
Longtime lurker here. I recently bought some Cinelli drop bars and want to run crossbar brake levers only (not a fan of the dropbar lever positioning). I bought a set of Tektro RL721 levers, but I realize they aren't "long-pull" levers (only meant to be used as interrupter brake levers). I can't seem to find any long-pull levers out there with a 31.8mm clamp diameter. Do they exist? Is there a way to work around this with the Tektro levers I bought, or am I not thinking of this the right way?
Thanks in advance

This horribly expensive thing has a movable pivot to work with either: https://www.paulcomp.com/shop/compon...e/cross-lever/
