Cool, so from what you've said it just matters about the lever end of the cable, and get decent wire cutters.
Those campag v brakes have quite short arms, hence reducing mechanical advantage. I'll get cross tops, and see how they go. Then if they're rubbish, I'll switch to Dia-Compe 287Vs which pull enough cable for Vs. If I really don't like the idea of aero levers though, I might just use a Travel Agent even though they're a bit of gludge. Better than riding what would effectively be brakeless anyway!
