These are designed to work with caliper type brakes. (road / bmx / cx) and not V brakes. Why not take a look at these:

Question

Could I use these on a road bike?

I want to replace the drop bar and brakes on a road bike to a narrow flat bar with small levers (for a fixie conversion). Am I right in assuming that these will work for any caliper brake. (These are centre-pull)

answer 1

These can be used with most calliper brakes, including road fit. Be aware that centre pull units made need significant set-up time. They are best fitted to side-pull calliper brakes.

answer 2

These brake levers are designed to be used with U brakes and side pull calipers.
